A practical, safe, and highly efficient carbonylation system involving a diphenylcarbonate, an organocatalyst, and various diols is presented herein and produces highly valuable cyclic carbonates. In reactions with a wide range of diols, diphenylcarbonate was activated by bicyclic guanidine 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) as a catalyst, which successfully replaced highly toxic and unstable

AbstractCatalysis of the challenging cycloaddition of carbon dioxide to internal epoxides has been studied using iron(III) amine triphenolate complexes and particular focus has been given to the stereochemical regulation of this process. When pure cis‐ or trans‐2,3‐epoxybutane is used as substrate, the stereochemistry of the product can be controlled yielding selectively cis‐ or trans‐cyclic carbonates for both epoxidic substrates. This stereochemical divergence relates to two accessible catalytic pathways leading to either the cis or trans product via two distinct ring‐closure steps. The involved mechanism and stereocontrol is a function of the catalyst/co‐catalyst loading, and is further influenced by the medium, temperature and catalyst/co‐catalyst structure. Other trans‐internal epoxides could also be successfully converted into the pure trans‐cyclic carbonate products without any loss of stereochemical information.magnified image
