Key Points

The research aims to identify effective and cost-efficient catalysts for CO2 cycloaddition to epoxides.
Utilized biobased quinine as a catalyst
Developed both homogeneous and recyclable heterogeneous organocatalysts
Conducted cycloaddition experiments under enhanced conditions using water
Successfully formed active organocatalysts from quinine
Demonstrated recyclability of the catalysts
Achieved enhanced cycloaddition efficiency in the presence of water

Implication

Research demonstrates effective CO2 cycloaddition to epoxides using biobased organocatalysts, suggesting a sustainable approach.

Abstract

In the search for readily available, inexpensive and yet efficient catalysts for CO2 cycloaddition to epoxides, we show that biobased quinine forms active homogeneous and recyclable heterogeneous organocatalysts for cyclic...
