Abstract
Synthesis of cyclic carbonates has been achieved from CO2 and diols in room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) via electrogenerated N-heterocyclic carbenes with good yields. Only mild reaction conditions of 40 °C temperature and 1 atm CO2 were used. This work provides a new procedure for synthesis of cyclic carbonates, as well as expands the function of NHCs.
