2,2',2''-Terpyridine-Catalyzed Synthesis of Cyclic Carbonates from Epoxides and Carbon Dioxide under Solvent-Free Conditions
An efficient coupling reaction of epoxides with CO2 affording cyclic carbonates with the use of 2,2', 2''-terpyridine as catalyst under solvent-free conditions has been developed.
