“…1–15 Although utilization of carbon dioxide as C1 feedstock is challenging in view of its thermodynamic and kinetic inertness, 16 research that deals with sustainable use of CO 2 in producing value-added chemicals is advancing at a rapid rate. 17–21 Of many important CO 2 transformation reactions, 22 cycloaddition of CO 2 with epoxides to form cyclic carbonates stands out to be a very attractive transformation process. 23–57 The process is 100% atom economic and the resulting cyclic carbonate products are commercially important chemicals which can be used as electrolytes in lithium-ion battery, 58 polar aprotic solvents, 59 functionalized building blocks for synthesizing valuable organic products, 60 monomers for polycarbonates 61 and isocyanate-free polyurethanes, 62 intermediates for pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals.…”

“…The electrochemical synthesis of 9a – k from the dibromo series 8a – k in a constant current of CO 2 follows the protocol illustrated in Scheme . An extensive literature survey and our previous work helped us establish the optimum conditions (selecting the electrode material, supporting electrolyte, temperature, pressure, and suitable solvent) to set up the experiment. Several factors play a significant role in product selectivity and better yield, for instance, the reaction was conducted with n -butanol, n -pentanol, and acetonitrile as solvent, as acetonitrile is a stronger proton donor that produced better yield in the process. Tetrapropyl ammonium bromide (TPAB), tetrapropyl ammonium chloride (TPAC), and trabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBABF 4 ) as an ionic solvent were tested, and TPAC in combination with acetonitrile exhibited higher efficiency.…”

“…Heterocycles are ubiquitous cores in natural products, bioactive molecules, functional materials, and therapeutic leads [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. Chemists are becoming increasingly focused on developing efficient synthetic approaches for heterocyclic frameworks, where minimizing the number of synthetic steps, maximizing synthesis efficiency, and reducing side reactions are important evaluation criteria [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Among various synthetic strategies, dipolar cyclization reactions have become one of the most favored methods for the construction of functionalized heterocyclic compounds [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ].…”
