Direct Electrosynthesis of Organic Carbonates from CO2 with Alcohols Under Mild Condition
Year: 2012
Type: article
Abstract: Electrosynthesis of organic carbonates from CO2 with alcohols has been carried out directly under galvanostatic condition at room temperature and normal pressure in DMF/MeCN without any additional catalyst. For the model compound methanol, the influence of solvents, electrode materials, current densities, charge amount, temperature and MeOH concentration have been investigated. Primary and second alcohols are converted into corresponding linear organic carbonates with moderate and low yields, whereas tertiary alcohol and phenol are unreactive. Moreover, cyclic carbonates could be synthesized from CO2 and diols.
