Recent Achievements in the Synthesis of Cyclic Carbonates from Olefins and CO2: The Rational Design of the Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalytic System

With the consumption of fossil fuels, level CO2 in atmosphere is growing rapidly, which leads to global warming. Hence, chemical conversion into high value-added products one most important approaches reducing emissions. Due being simple, inexpensive and environmentally friendly, direct synthesis cyclic carbonates from olefins a promising project for industrial application. In this review, we discuss design homogeneous heterogeneous catalytic system reaction CO2. Usually, catalyst contains epoxidation active site cycloaddition site, could achieve oxidation oleifins CO2-insert, respectively. This review will provide comprehensive overview catalyzed by catalysts. The focus mainly lies on rational fabrication multifunctional catalysts, provides new perspective
