A rapid and effective synthesis of propylene carbonate using a supercritical CO2–ionic liquid system

Abstract

The synthesis of propylene carbonate from propylene oxide and carbon dioxide under supercritical conditions in the presence of 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate was achieved in nearly 100% yield and 100% selectivity within 5 minutes, whose TOF value is 77 times larger than those so far reported.
