A one-pot organocatalytic process for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from CO 2 and alkenes using cumene hydroperoxide as a green oxidant

ASAngelo ScopanoNPNicole PotenzaGBGiovanni Berluti

Key Points

  • The study aims to develop a sustainable method for synthesizing cyclic carbonates using carbon dioxide and alkenes.
  • Implemented a one-pot organocatalytic process
  • Utilized cumene hydroperoxide as a green oxidant
  • Coupled carbon dioxide with alkenes for cyclic carbonate production
  • Successfully synthesized cyclic carbonates through the new method
  • Demonstrated the efficiency of the oxidation process
  • Indicated potential for environmentally friendly chemical production

Abstract

Cyclic carbonates are usually obtained from coupling of carbon dioxide and epoxides. The latter are generally prepared thorugh the selective oxidation of alkenes or other compounds containing a double bond....
