Table 1 Cyclic carbonates from epoxides and CO2 a

From: Carbon dioxide capture and conversion by an acid-base resistant metal-organic framework

 
  1. aReaction conditions: styrene oxide (20.0 mmol), catalyst (0.48 mol% per Cu(II) units), TBAB (2.5 mol%) in a Schleck tube with condenser, 1 atm simulated post-combustion flue (CO2 = 0.15 atm, N2 = 0.85 atm) was bubbled at 80 °C for 24 h
  2. bDetermined by 1H NMR.
  3. cSome by-products were found when Cu(OAc)2 was used as a catalyst
