Fig. 1: Telomerization of 1,3-dienes and CO2 towards renewable lactone building blocks.
From: Gram-scale selective telomerization of isoprene and CO2 toward 100% renewable materials

a Polymerization of EVP derived from butadiene and CO2. b Comparison of butadiene and isoprene in the telomerization with CO2. c Telomerization of isoprene and CO2 towards “COOIL” and polymerization of the corresponding lactone.
