Abstract:The reaction between carbon dioxide and epoxides is an attractive pathway for CO2utilisation as it leads to the formation of two different, yet both valuable products: cyclic and polymeric carbonates. In this review, the advancements made within this field are critically discussed with special attention to the potential of these two classes of compounds as green chemical products. First, an overview is provided of the various types of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic systems developed for achieving the … Show more
