Method for synthesizing organic carbonate from carbon dioxide, alcohol and brominated alkane under mild conditions

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing organic carbonate from carbon dioxide, alcohol and brominated alkane under mild conditions, belonging to the field of chemical synthesis. According tothe method, carbon dioxide, alcohol and brominated alkane are used as raw materials, 1,8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene (DBU) is used as an activating agent, and acetonitrile is used as a solvent to preparethe organic carbonate. The target product, namely the organic carbonate with excellent yield can be obtained under optimized reaction conditions. The method is mild in reaction conditions, simple andconvenient to operate and high in yield, and is an excellent system for preparing the organic carbonate.

The Guanidine-Promoted Direct Synthesis of Open-Chained Carbonates

In order to reduce CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere, chemical fixation methodologies were developed and proved to be promising. In general, CO2 was turned into cyclic carbonates by cycloaddition with epoxides. However, the cyclic carbonates need to be converted into open-chained carbonates by transesterification for industrial usage, which results in wasted energy and materials. Herein, we report a process catalyzed by tetramethylguanidine (TMG) to afford linear carbonates directly. This process is greener and shows potential for industrial applications.
