Selective formation of trimethylene carbonate (TMC): atmospheric pressure carbon dioxide utilization
journal contribution
posted on 2015-01-22, 17:14 authored by Benjamin BuckleyBenjamin Buckley, Anish P. Patel, Upul Wijayantha-Kahagala-GamageCarbon 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.
