Amine functionalized polyglycerols obtained by copolymerization of cyclic carbonate monomers

Recent progress in the catalytic transformation of carbon dioxide into biosourced organic carbonates

“…40 In addition, GC can also be used as building block in organic synthesis through ringopening, decarboxylation, esterification or polymerization reactions. [41][42][43] The most common way to produce GC is by transesterification of glycerol with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) or urea with the aid of a catalyst. [44][45][46][47][48] The most desirable sustainable and straightforward route to produce GC would be from glycerol and carbon dioxide combining two waste molecules.…”

Recent Development of Heterogeneous Catalysis in the Transesterification of Glycerol to Glycerol Carbonate

“…Catalysts 2019, 9, 581 2 of 23 direct oxidation [9][10][11], hydrogenolysis [12,13], dehydration [14], acetalization [15], transesterification [16][17][18][19], etc. Amongst these products, glycerol carbonate is considered to be the most valuable product [20][21][22][23][24][25]. As a high value-added glycerol derivative, 4-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-one (also named glycerol carbonate, GC) is widely used as a solvent, coating material, lubricant, and personal care product attributing to its special physical properties in boiling point, melting point, and water solubility [19].…”

In addition, due to its specific structural characteristic and reactivity, glycerol carbonate, as a versatile building block, also has valuable applications in carbon dioxide separation [20,21] and organic syntheses [22][23][24][25], such as ring opening reaction, decarboxylation, esterification, polymerization, etc. The diverse applications of glycerol carbonate has attracted much attention from chemists, and synthetic strategies for glycerol carbonate have developed rapidly in the past few decades.…”

Preparation and long term stability studies of carbon dioxide adsorbents based on hyperbranched polymers

“…The synthesis of amine containing hyperbranched poly glycerols can be also performed using safer ( without the use of potassium) and efficient method based on cyclic carbonate monomers [15].…”
