Abstract

A novel application of alkanolamines, widely employed as CO₂ scrubbers in catalyzing the insertion of CO₂ into epoxides generating cyclic carbonates in excellent yield and selectivity via the synergistic activity of hydroxyl and amine groups, is unravelled along with computational studies.
