Direct Cyclic Carbonate Synthesis from CO2 and Diol over Carboxylation/Hydration Cascade Catalyst of CeO2 with 2-Cyanopyridine

Abstract: We first achieved direct synthesis of propylene carbonate from CO 2 and 1,2-propanediol in excellent yield (>99%) using a carboxylation/hydration cascade catalyst of CeO 2 with 2cyanopyridine. The catalyst system can be applied to syntheses of various cyclic carbonates, including 6-membered ring carbonates that are difficult to synthesize in high yields (62−>99%).

“…Scheme shows the results of the synthesis of cyclic carbonate from CO 2 +diols+2‐cyanopyridine. Various vicinal diols reacted with CO 2 to give corresponding five‐membered ring carbonates in high yield . In the case of the synthesis of five‐membered ring carbonates, although the reactivity of secondary‐secondary vicinal OH groups is not high, the target products were obtained in high yield.…”

“…As a main‐group element with low cost, nontoxicity, and stability in air, magnesium oxide is efficient for the highly selective synthesis of PC from PG and CO 2 without any organic solvents or additives in 100% selectivity, which is more environmentally friendly than the Sn complex 68. Recently, the cooperative catalyst system CeO 2 /2‐cyanopyridine was first applied to direct synthesis of PC from CO 2 and 1,2‐propanediol by Tomishige and co‐workers, and excellent yields of cyclic carbonates, including six‐membered ring carbonates, were obtained due to the high activity of CeO 2 for both carboxylation of diols and hydration of 2‐cyanopyridine 69. Using dibromomethane as the solvent, alcohol activator, and [Bmim][PF 6 ] to increase the solubility of CO 2 , transition‐metal‐free synthesis of cyclic carbonates was realized recently in the presence of organic base, 1,8‐diaza‐bicyclo[5.4.0]undec‐7‐ene (DBU) 70…”

“…The conversion of CO 2 into value added chemicals has been widely investigated in an attempt to reduce the atmospheric levels of CO 2 . Recently, CO 2 has attracted great interests as an environmentally benign building block in the chemical industry due to its non-toxic, non-flammable and recyclable properties [1][2][3][4]. However, CO 2 is a very stable compound as the carbon atom is in the most oxidized form and thermodynamically stable [5] and therefore large energy input is required to transform CO 2 .…”
