Abstract

This paper reports the effectiveness of carrying out the cycloaddition reaction of styrene oxide (SO) and CO₂ without the use of any catalysts. A naturally abundant and cheap material, urea, was utilized in promoting the reaction by controlling the reaction conditions. The influence of reaction temperature, carbon dioxide (CO₂) pressure, amount of urea, and the reaction time on the selectivity of styrene carbonate (SC) was investigated.
