The tandem reaction of propargylamine/propargyl alcohol with CO2: Reaction mechanism, catalyst activity and product diversity

Fabrication of Carboxylic Acid and Imidazolium Ionic Liquid Functionalized Porous Cellulosic Materials for the Efficient Conversion of Carbon Dioxide into Cyclic Carbonates

“…Carbon dioxide can be used as a starting material to produce various high value-added chemicals. One of the most useful and widely investigated reactions of carbon dioxide is its cycloaddition to epoxides for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates. , These can be used as polar solvent , and electrolyte of lithium batteries, , polycarbonate polyurethane precursors, pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and agricultural chemical intermediates . Therefore, many catalytic systems have been developed for the cycloaddition reaction of epoxides with carbon dioxide, such as metal complexes, frustrated Lewis pairs, super-bases, ILs, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), and porous organic frameworks (POFs) .…”

A mechanistic study on coupling of CO2 and epoxide mediated by guanidine/TBAI catalysts

“…As an inexpensive, abundant and renewable one-carbon resource, the chemical transformation and utilization of CO 2 for the synthesis of various valuable organic compounds have attracted much attention. [1][2][3][4] One of the most promising reactions involving the use of CO 2 is the preparation of cyclic carbonates, that have a wide range of commercial applications in the production of fuel additives, aprotic polar solvents, electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries and polymeric materials. 5,6 The cycloaddition between CO 2 and epoxides represents an atom economic approach to achieve cyclic carbonates, in which both metal-based catalysts [7][8][9] and organocatalysts (i.e., ionicliquid-based systems, 10,11 phenolic compounds, [12][13][14][15] phosphonium salts, 16,17 imidazolium salts, [18][19][20] and organic amines [21][22][23] ) have been widely used.…”
