Three powerful dinuclear metal-organic catalysts for converting CO2 into organic carbonates

Developing efficient catalysts for converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into varied organic carbonates is an important scientific goal. By using the NH2-functionalized tripodal ligand 2-((bis(2-aminoethyl)amino)methyl)phenol (HL), three dinuclear metal-organic complexes [Zn(L)]2·2ClO4 (1), [Cu(L)]2·2ClO4·2H2O (2) and [Cd(L)]2·2ClO4 (3) have been successfully isolated and structurally characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Considering the dinuclear metal centers and the NH2-functional groups in the structures, 1-3 were investigated as catalysts for converting CO2 into organic carbonates, and the results show that 1-3 exhibit an outstanding ability for converting CO2 into varied organic carbonates at atmospheric pressure (0.1 MPa). The catalytic system also displays a wide substrate scope and high catalytic activity, and the reaction mechanism has been proposed herein.

One-pot synthesis of cyclic carbonates from aldehydes, sulfur ylide, and CO2

Treatment of aldehydes with sulfur ylide (CH2=SOMe2 or CH2=SMe2), in the presence of CO2 (1 atm) bubbled sequentially under mild conditions, produces cyclic carbonates in preparative yields. Sodium iodide formed in situ promotes the reaction between epoxide as intermediate and CO2 at ambient conditions, thus constituting a powerful metal-free synthesis of organic cyclic carbonates directly from aldehydes.
