Green Conversion of Carbon Dioxide to Cyclic Carbonates: EpoxideActivation using Hydroxyl-functionalized Ionic Liquids

Puntos clave

• The aim is to develop a green catalyst for converting carbon dioxide into cyclic carbonates using epoxides.
• Demonstrated catalytic activity under ambient CO2 pressure
• Transformed epoxides to cyclic carbonates
• Achieved high yields and selectivity
• No co-catalyst or solvent used
• Operated under mild conditions.
• High catalytic activity observed for transformation
• Achieved high yields of cyclic carbonates
• Selectivity remained consistently high throughout the process
