“…Encouraged by these results, we were interested in using diols from renewable feedstock for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates (Scheme ). To this end, glycerol, a side product of the biodiesel industry, is especially interesting Because of the bulk production of this alcohol, its use as a platform chemical provides valuable opportunities for new products . For example, the resulting cyclic carbonate is a biodegradable high boiling polar solvent with low toxicity and multiple applications .…”

A new iron‐catalyzed synthesis of cyclic carbonates from the corresponding vicinal diols and urea is described. This straightforward transformation allows for the preparation of a variety of five‐membered carbonates by employing an inexpensive and environmentally benign iron salt as the catalyst. The use of readily available feedstocks such as urea and polyols makes this a sustainable process. As ammonia is formed as the only stoichiometric byproduct, this process can also be characterized by its high atom economy.

The article underlines and discusses the state-of-the-art accomplishments in the catalytic conversion of glycerol (1,2,3-propanetriol) to fuels and value-added chemicals in the past five years (2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012). The reactions include steam reforming, aqueous-phase reforming, hydrogenolysis, oxidation, dehydration, esterification, etherification, carboxylation, acetalization, and chlorination. Typical products are hydrogen, propanediols, dihydroxyacetone, glyceric acid, acrolein, glyceride, polyglycerol, glycerol carbonate, acetals, ketals, and epichlorohydrine. Recent studies on the catalysts, reaction conditions, and possible pathways are primarily discussed. They indicate that major breakthroughs are achieved by the use of multifunctional catalysts, process intensification and integrated reactions. Literature survey suggests that future work on the catalytic conversion of glycerol for commercial goals particularly requires new catalysts, innovative reactor engineering, and close multidisciplinary partnership.
