Titanium Phosphate with Flower-like Morphology As an Effective Reusable Catalyst for Chemical Fixation of CO2 at Mild Reaction Conditions

Continuous Synthesis of Carbamates from CO2 and Amines

We present a novel approach for the continuous preparation of carbamates. The simple yet fast synthetic route relies on directly utilizing carbon dioxide and, in contrast with the literature-known methods, only employs 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene as an additive. The applicable amines' diversity offers considerable flexibility to the synthetic protocol. Additionally, the continuous method's applicability significantly decreases the reaction time typically required for CO2-based carbamate synthesis and allows for straightforward and precise gas introduction. The mild reaction conditions and omission of the need for column chromatography render the process less time-demanding and environmentally more benign, providing the desired compounds in yields of 45 to 92%. Moreover, the modified procedure can potentially be applied in the selective synthesis of oxazolidinones from aziridines.

ZIF-8-Nanocrystalline Zirconosilicate Integrated Porous Material for the Activation and Utilization of CO2 in Insertion Reactions

The conversion of CO₂ to useful chemicals, especially to atom economical products, is the best approach to utilize an excess of CO₂ present in the atmosphere. In this study, a metal-organic framework (ZIF-8) is integrated with nanocrystalline zirconosilicate zeolite to develop an integrated porous catalyst for CO₂ insertion reactions. The catalyst exhibits excellent activity for the CO₂ insertion reaction of epoxide to produce cyclic carbonate in neat condition without the addition of any co-catalyst. The catalyst is stable and recyclable during the cyclic carbonate synthesis. Further, the catalyst also exhibits very good activity in another CO₂ insertion reaction to produce quinazoline-2,4(1H, 3H)-dione.
