Buckley, Benjamin Patel, Anish P. Wijayantha-Kahagala-Gamage, Upul Selective formation of trimethylene carbonate (TMC): atmospheric pressure carbon dioxide utilization Carbon dioxide utilisation (CDU) is currently gaining increased interest due to the abundance of CO2 and its possible application as a C1 building block. We herein report the first example of atmospheric pressure carbon dioxide incorporation into oxetane to selectively form trimethylene carbonate (TMC), which is a significant challenge as TMC is thermodynamically less favoured than its corresponding co-polymer.
