A bifunctional catalyst for carbon dioxide fixation: cooperative double activation of epoxides for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates†‡
Abstract
We have developed a very active bifunctional porphyrin catalyst showing a high turnover number (TON = 103 000) for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from CO2 and epoxides under solvent-free conditions.
