Abstract

Cesium salts (Cs₂CO₃, CsCl, and CsNO₃) were used for the coupling of CO₂ and epoxides. These salts are highly active catalysts for the formation of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and CO₂ at ambient pressure (1 bar). The reaction proceeds with high conversions up to 100% and turnover numbers (TONs) up to 97 × 10³.
