Recent advances in metal-free catalysts for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from CO_2 and epoxides

The aim of ＂green chemistry＂ and ＂atom economy＂ is to utilize carbon dioxide and replace harmful reactants such as CO and phosgene for the production of cyclic carbonates. In this paper, metal-free catalysts including organic bases, ionic liquids, supported catalysts, organic copolymers and carbon materials for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates by the cycloaddition of carbon dioxide to epoxides are reviewed. Recent advances in the design of the catalysts and the understanding of the reaction mechanism are summarized and discussed. The synergistic effects of organic bases and hydrogen bond donors, organic bases and nucleophilic anions, hydrogen bond donors and nucleophilic anions and active components and supports are highlighted. The challenge is to develop metal-free catalysts suitable for carbon dioxide capture and fixation. The ultimate goal is to synthesize cyclic carbonates in a flow reactor directly using carbon dioxide from industrial flue gas at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. By using synergetic effects, a multi-functional approach can meet the design strategy of metal-free catalysts for carbon dioxide adsorption and activation as well as epoxide ring opening.

Chiral basket-handle porphyrin-Co complexes for the catalyzed asymmetric cycloaddition of CO_2 to epoxides

The catalytic synthesis of cyclic carbonates via the cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides is a standard methodology for CO2 fixation.For this purpose,chiral basket-handle porphyrin-Co complexes were devised,prepared,and fully characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance,mass spectrometry,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy,and specific rotation.The proposed metalloporphyrin catalysts were synthesized with either 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol or L-phenylalanine,which have different chirality,and then applied to the coupling of propylene oxide and CO2 for generating chiral cyclic carbonates with good enantioselectivity under extremely mild conditions in the presence of tetrabutyl ammonium chloride as a co-catalyst.The good enantioselectivity in the cycloaddition reaction is attributed to a synergistic interplay between the chiral porphyrin catalysts and the substrate.The mechanism and enantioselectivity of the asymmetric cycloaddition reaction is discussed.

Covalent organic frameworks(COFs),with two dimensional(2D-)or three dimensional(3D-)structures,have accessible open channels or nanopores,with uniform sizes ranging from angstroms to nanometers and have emerged as an excellent and promising platform for designing catalysts or catalyst carriers.Herein,a 2 D-COF grafted with a 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium-based ionic liquid(AMIMBr@H2 P-DHPh COF)on the channel walls was synthesized and utilized as a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the chemical fixation of CO2 via a reaction with epoxides under solvent-free and co-catalyst-free conditions.The as-synthesized AMIMBr@H2 P-DHPh COF shows excellent catalytic activity in promoting the cycloaddition reactions between epoxide and CO2;the excellent catalytic activity was maintained for up to five cycles.Advantages like high porosity,functional versatility,easy modification of COFs,and high catalytic activity of ionic liquids,have been realized in a single material.

Zinc single atoms on N-doped carbon: An efficient and stable catalyst for CO2 fixation and conversion

The cycloaddition of epoxides and carbon dioxide represents a straightforward and atom-efficient method for synthesis of cyclic carbonates and utilization of CO2. So far, homogeneous metal complexes have been mainly applied for such transformations. Here, we describe the synthesis of novel heterogeneous Zn-based catalysts, which were conveniently prepared by pyrolysis of an active- carbon-supported phenanthroline-ligated Zn(OAc)2 complex. Detail structural characterizations proved the existence of single zinc sites in the active material. Compared to a Zn-based nanoparticle (Zn-NP) catalyst, the resulting single metal atom catalyst (SAC) displayed improved activity and stability for the cycloaddition of epoxides. By applying the optimal catalyst, a variety of carbonates were successfully obtained in high yields with good functional group tolerance.

Mechanistic Investigation on Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Cycloaddition of 2-Vinylphenol Derivatives with Ethyne or Carbon Monoxide by DFT Study

Rhodium-catalyzed cycloaddition reaction was calculated by density functional theory M06-2X method to directly synthesize benzoxepine and coumarin derivatives.In this work,we conducted a computational study of two competitive mechanisms in which the carbon atom of acetylene or carbon monoxide attacked and inserted from two different directions of the six-membered ring reactant to clarify the principle characteristics of this transformation.The calculation results reveal that:(i)the insertion process of alkyne or carbon monoxide is the key step of the reaction;(ii)for the(5+2)cycloaddition reaction of acetylene,higher energy is required to break the Rh−O bond of the reactant,and the reaction tends to complete the insertion from the side of the Rh−C bond;(iii)for the(5+1)cycloaddition of carbon monoxide,both reaction paths have lower activation free energy,and the two will generate a competition mechanism.

The synthesis of tetracyclic coumarins via decarboxylative asymmetric[4+2]cycloadditions enabled by Pd(0)/Cu(I)synergistic catalysis

Tetracyclic coumarins are a class of important compounds with diverse and superior pharmacolog‐ical activities.However,a direct stereoselective method from simple and readily‐made coumarins derivatives remains challenging due to the inertness of coumarins as dienophiles.Herein,we de‐velop a decarboxylative asymmetric[4+2]cycloaddition of 3‐cyanocoumarins with vinyl benzoxa‐zinones,affording the coumarin‐derived condensed rings bearing three continuous stereocenters in high yields with excellent diastereoselectivities(>20/1 d.r.)and enantioselectivities(up to 99%ee).This direct enantioselective reaction was achieved by a Pd(0)/Cu(I)bimetallic catalytic system.The mechanism studies indicated that the synergistic activation effect,in which chiral Cu(I)as an availa‐ble Lewis acid catalyst activates 3‐cyanocoumarin and chiral Pd(0)complex activates benzoxazi‐none by the formation ofπ‐allyl‐palladium intermediate,plays an important role on the stereoselec‐tive control.The current work provides a new activation modes of Cu catalyst in the Pd/Cu bimetal‐lic catalytic system.

The quest for innovative hydrogen-bond donor(HBD)catalysts has led to a significant advancement in the field of organic synthesis.Considering the electron-withdrawing strength of imidazolium cations and the spatial requirements of hydrogen bond donors,a novel HBD catalyst based on the 1,1'-methylenediimidazolium scaffold by bridging two imidazolium cations with methylene was developed.The 1,1'-methylenediimidazolium-based catalysts exhibit excellent performance in the cycloaddition reaction of CO_(2) and epoxides,achieving up to 99% yield and 99%selectivity under mild conditions(atmospheric pressure,80℃ for 12 h,with 1 mol%catalyst).The geometric structure,atomic charge distribution,and synergistic effect of HBD catalysts were studied in detail through 1H NMR spectroscopy and density functional theory(DFT)calculations.The research results indicate that the protons at positions C2-H,C2'-H,C5-H,and C5'-H on the imidazolium rings,as well as the protons on the bridged methylene,contribute to the formation of multiple hydrogen bonds with appropriate distance and synergistic effects,which are crucial for activating CO_(2) and epoxides.This research highlights the distinctive attributes of 1,1'-methylenediimidazolium-based catalysts and offers valuable insights into the development of highly efficient multiple HBD catalysts.
