Addition of carbon dioxide to allyl glycidyl ether using ionic liquids catalysts

Theoretical study on the mechanism of nickel(0)-mediated coupling between carbon dioxide and epoxyethane

“…Since the catalytic coupling of CO 2 with epoxides was first reported by Inoue and co-workers in 1969 [13], quite numerous catalytic processes about the cycloaddition have been documented [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. However, most catalysts, such as metalhalides [14,15], metal oxides [16,17], organometallic compounds [18][19][20], Lewis acid/bases [21], and zeolites [22], suffer from low catalytic activity or need harsh reaction conditions (high pressures of CO 2 and high temperatures), limiting their practicality.…”

Synthesis of glycerol carbonate from ethylene carbonate and glycerol using immobilized ionic liquid catalysts

“…In the previous works [18][19][20][21][22][23][24], we studied the performance of ionic liquid for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and carbon dioxide. Recently, the ionic liquid-based heterogeneous catalysts have been developed to synthesize cyclic carbonates and In this study, ionic liquids immobilized on mesoporous MCM41 were prepared and their catalytic performance was tested in the synthesis of glycerol carbonate from transesterification of ethylene carbonate with glycerol.…”

Synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from ethylene carbonate and methanol using immobilized ionic liquid on amorphous silica

“…In our previous work [19][20][21][22][23][24], we studied the performance of ionic liquid for the synthesis of cyclic carbonate from epoxide and carbon dioxide. The immobilization of ionic liquids onto MCM-41 Ionic liquid immobilized on mesoporous amorphous silica was prepared from the coupling of 1-(triethoxysilylpropyl)-3-n-alkyl-imidazolium halides with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) through template-free condensation under strong acidic conditions.…”
