The use of carbon dioxide (CO2) as a building block in organic synthesis is a topic of high
interest. We here reflect from an industrial perspective, which of the approaches may have …

Dialkyl carbonates are important organic compounds and chemical intermediates with the
label of “green chemicals” due to their moderate toxicity, biodegradability for human health …

The present review compiles the recently published literature for the single step dimethyl
carbonate (DMC) synthesis from carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methanol. The various routes of …

CO2 is considered to play a key role in an eventual climate change, due to its accumulation
in the atmosphere. The control of its emission represents a challenging task that requires …

We first achieved direct synthesis of propylene carbonate from CO2 and 1, 2-propanediol in
excellent yield (> 99%) using a carboxylation/hydration cascade catalyst of CeO2 with 2 …

An aluminum porphyrin complex with a quaternary ammonium salt cocatalyst exhibits high
activity (ie, a turnover frequency as high as 1.85× 105 h− 1) and selectivity (> 99%) for cyclic …

Recent progress on the direct synthesis of organic carbonate from CO2 and alcohol
combined with dehydration systems has been reviewed. Versatile dehydration systems have …

In the framework of reducing GHG emissions and accelerating the decarbonization of the
road transport sector, vehicle efficiency is a key factor for competitiveness. In this sense, the …

In recent years, the development of renewable energy alternatives to traditional fossil fuels
has become one of the major challenges all over the world, due to the decline of fossil fuel …

Supported ionic liquid-like phases (SILLPs) containing Rose Bengal (RB) units are used to
develop organocatalytic systems for the cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides. The activity of the …
