Abstract: | The syntheses of carbon dioxide (CO2) based industrially important chemicals have gained considerable interest in view of the sustainable chemistry and “green
chemistry” concepts. In this review, recent developments in the chemical fixation of CO2 to valuable chemicals are discussed. The synthesis of five-member cyclic carbonates via, cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides is one of the promising reactions replacing the existing poisonous phosgene-based synthetic route. This review
focuses on the synthesis of cyclic carbonates, vinyl carbamates, and quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones via reaction of CO2 and epoxide, amines/phenyl acetylene, 2-aminobenzinitrile and other chemicals. Direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate, 1,3-disubstituted
urea and 2-oxazolidinones/2-imidazolidinones have limitations at present because of the reaction equilibrium and chemical
inertness of CO2. The preferred alternatives for their synthesis like transesterification of ethylene carbonate with methanol, transamination
of ethylene carbonate with primary amine and transamination reaction of ethylene carbonate with diamines/β-aminoalcohols are discussed. These methodologies offer marked improvements for greener chemical fixation of CO2 in to industrially important chemicals. |
