In industries and academic laboratories, several late transition metal-catalyzed prerequisite
reactions are widely performed during single and multistep synthesis. However, besides the …

Carbon dioxide offers an accessible, cheap and renewable carbon feedstock for synthesis.
Current interest in the area of carbon dioxide valorisation aims at new, emerging …

The reaction between carbon dioxide and epoxides is an attractive pathway for CO2-
utilisation as it can lead to the formation of two different, yet valuable, products: cyclic and …

Sustainability requires that we reuse spent carbon sources from CO2 emissions to generate
new products and materials. In this regard, carbon capture is a necessary requirement for …

Cyclic organic carbonates represent a relevant class of chemicals that can be prepared from
CO2 by cycloaddition to epoxides. The application of efficient catalysts is crucial in allowing …

Carbon dioxide and epoxide copolymerization is an industrially relevant means to valorize
waste and improve sustainability in polymer manufacturing. Given the value of the polymer …

Global concerns about high CO 2 levels and dwindling supplies of fossil resources are
increasing. The utilization of CO 2 and waste biomass as renewable resources for valuable …

The present review “Iron Catalysis in Organic Synthesis” covers the literature until the end of
June 2014 and represents a comprehensive update of a previous article published by Bolm …

The ring-opening copolymerization of carbon dioxide and propene oxide is a useful means
to valorize waste into commercially attractive poly (propylene carbonate)(PPC) polyols. The …

In 2010 the emission of CO2 from anthropic activities amounted at ca. 30000 Mt, 43% of
which was from coal combustion, 36% from oil, and 20% from gas. 1 Growth of consumption …
