Metal-promoted Synthesis of Cyclic Carbonates from 1,2-diols and Carbon Dioxide

چکیده
Chemical fixation of CO2 to value-added products/materials/fuel has attracted more and more attention from both academia and governmental agencies all over the worldsince CO2 is an easily available and sustainable C1 resource with the advantage of being abundant, nontoxic, nonflammable and renewable. Synthesis of organic carbonates starting from CO2 is one of the most promising methodologies and has been widely investigated. The use of CO2 and 1,2-diols can bring many advantages, such as reusing the byproducts generated in the industrial dimethyl carbonate (DMC) process and simplifying the post purification process. In this paper, synthetic methods with reaction mechanism of ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC) and glycerol carbonate from CO2 and ethylene glycol (EG), or propylene glycol (PG) or glycerol are systematically discussed.

Direct Copolymerization of CO2 and Diols
Direct polymerization of CO2 and diols is promising as a simple and environmental-benign method in place of conventional processes using high-cost and/or hazardous reagents such as phosgene, carbon monoxide and epoxides, however, there are no reports on the direct method due to the inertness of CO2 and severe equilibrium limitation of the reaction. Herein, we firstly substantiate the direct cop...
متن کاملSynthesis of Chiral Cyclic Carbonates via Kinetic Resolution of Racemic Epoxides and Carbon Dioxide
The catalytic synthesis of cyclic carbonates using carbon dioxide as a C1-building block is a highly active area of research. Here, we review the catalytic production of enantiomerically enriched cyclic carbonates via kinetic resolution of racemic epoxides catalysed by metal-containing catalyst systems.

Unlike aromatic polycarbonates, aliphatic polycarbonates (APCs) have been little explored commercially. However, their low toxicity and biodegradability make them excellent candidates for biomedical applications. Recently, they have also been investigated as thermoplastics, binders for photovoltaics, polymer electrolytes and adhesives. Part of this renewed attention stems from the possibility t...
متن کاملIonic Liquids: The Synergistic Catalytic Effect in the Synthesis of Cyclic Carbonates
This review presents the synergistic effect in the catalytic system of ionic liquids (ILs) for the synthesis of cyclic carbonate from carbon dioxide and epoxide. The emphasis of this review is on three aspects: the catalytic system of metal-based ionic liquids, the catalytic system of hydrogen bond-promoted ionic liquids and supported ionic liquids. Metal and ionic liquids show a synergistic ef...

A highly regio- and stereoselective anomeric esterification of 3-O-allyl (or benzyl, or benzoyl)-4,6-O-isopropylidene-alpha,beta-d-glucopyranose with acetyl chloride, or allyl chloroformate, or ethyl chloroformate gave the corresponding 2-OH, 1-beta-acetates or -carbonates in excellent yields. The 2-OH, 1-beta-acetates were readily converted to the corresponding 2-O-acetylated glucopyranosyl tr...
