Abstract: | This short review presents the recent developments in the direct synthesis of cyclic carbonates from olefins and CO2. The straightforward synthesis of cyclic carbonates from olefins instead of epoxides, also called one-pot “oxidative carboxylation” of olefins, can be viewed as the coupling of two sequential reactions of epoxidation of olefins and CO2 cycloaddition to epoxides formed. The facile synthetic approach would make carbonate synthesis simpler and even cheaper with industrial potential from environmental and economic points of view. Some progresses have been made on this direct synthetic reaction for cyclic carbonates with homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, however, this reaction system is still at a preliminary stage. Among the catalysts reported, only a few can be considered as effective for the direct oxidative carboxylation of olefins to cyclic carbonates. Thus active and selective catalysts should be explored to put the direct synthesis of cyclic carbonates into practical applications. |
