Selectivity of the cyclic carbonate formation by fixation of carbon dioxide into epoxides catalyzed by Lewis bases

Recent developments in state-of-the-art silica-modified catalysts for the fixation of CO2 in epoxides to form organic carbonates

“…Also, the dispersion of RuCl 3 on the SiO 2 surface increased the number of catalytically active surface sites, which increased the catalytic activity. 214…”

Cycling of waste fusel alcohols from sugar cane industries using supercritical carbon dioxide

“…New methods for the synthesis of carbonates that consider the utilization of carbon dioxide as raw material 10,11 can be an alternative to replace phosgene and its related compounds. [12][13][14] Organic carbonates can be used as solvents 15,16 or reagents 17 in the chemical industry 18 and medicinal chemistry. 19 They can also be used as fuel additives.…”

A comparative solid state 13C NMR and thermal study of CO2 capture by amidines PMDBD and DBN

“…The development of suitable methods for the preparation of interesting CO 2 -containing compounds, like organic carbonates and urethanes could be an alternative to recycling CO 2 and using it as a substitute for the highly toxic phosgene and its derivatives. [1][2][3][4][5] On the other hand, the recycling of CO 2 requires a previous knowledge of the possible mechanisms for CO 2 capture and release in several reaction media. Therefore, methodologies have been developed for investigation and characterization of the CO 2 chemical capture.…”
