Abstract

Development of efficient, cheap and recyclable catalysts for a reaction under green reaction conditions is still a very attractive topic. In this work, the cycloaddition reactions of CO2 with various epoxides to form five-membered cyclic carbonates catalyzed by chitosan functionalized 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium halides (CS-EMImX, X = Cl, Br) without additional solvent and metal co-catalyst were achieved in high yield and selectivity. The catalyst could be easily recovered and reused five times with high catalytic activity and selectivity. Besides, a possible catalytic cycle for the hydrogen bond assisted ring-opening of epoxide and activation of CO2 induced by the nucleophilic tertiary nitrogen of the chitosan was also proposed. The process represents a simple, ecologically safe and cost-effective route to synthesize cyclic carbonates with high product yield, as well as easy catalyst recycling.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
