Chemical Fixation of Carbon Dioxide by NaI/PPh3/PhOH

In the presence of catalytic amounts of sodium iodide, triphenylphosphine, and phenol, carbon dioxide can efficiently react with epoxides to give the corresponding five-membered cyclic carbonates in high yields. The mechanism of this reaction was disclosed by 31P NMR spectroscopic data and deuterium...

Description
Summary:In the presence of catalytic amounts of sodium iodide, triphenylphosphine, and phenol, carbon dioxide can efficiently react with epoxides to give the corresponding five-membered cyclic carbonates in high yields. The mechanism of this reaction was disclosed by 31P NMR spectroscopic data and deuterium labeling experiments.
