Abstract

Organic carbonates are renowned for their low toxicity and high biodegradability, which is considered as green reagents and an appropriate alternative to conventional toxic compounds. Additionally, organic carbonates can be produced from CO2; therefore, the transformation of organic carbonates to other valuable chemicals is an indirect way for CO2 utilization. The transformation reactions of organic carbonates mainly include alkylation reactions, carbonylation reactions, and transesterification reactions. Ionic liquids, as attractive media, have already exhibited excellent performance on promoting various transformations of organic carbonates. This chapter covers recent applications of organic carbonates in organic transformation reactions catalyzed by ionic liquids.
