Imidazolium bromides combined with niobium(v) choride were used as catalyst system for the reaction of CO2 with epoxides to cyclic carbonates. The variation of the cation structure strongly affects the properties of the imidazolium salt and therefore the catalytic activity.

Three PEG-functionalized imidazolium salts L1–L3 were designed and prepared from commercially available materials via a simple method. Their corresponding water soluble Pd–NHC catalysts, in situ generated from the imidazolium salts L1–L3 and Na2PdCl4 in water, showed impressive catalytic activity for aqueous Mizoroki–Heck reactions. The kinetic study revealed that the Pd catalyst derived from the imidazolium salt L1, bearing a pyridine-2-methyl substituent at the N3 atom of the imidazole ring, showed the best catalytic activity. Under the optimal conditions, a wide range of substituted alkenes were achieved in good to excellent yields from various aryl bromides and alkenes with the catalyst TON of up to 10,000.

The conversion of carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals such as cyclic carbonates is an appealing topic for the scientific community due to the possibility of valorizing waste into an inexpensive, available, nontoxic, and renewable carbon feedstock. In this regard, last-generation heterogeneous catalysts are of great interest owing to their high catalytic activity, robustness, and easy recovery and recycling. In the present review, recent advances on CO2 cycloaddition to epoxide mediated by hybrid catalysts through organometallic or organo-catalytic species supported onto silica-, nanocarbon-, and metal–organic framework (MOF)-based heterogeneous materials, are highlighted and discussed.

We have studied the synthesis of five-membered cyclic carbonates through the cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides by using acyclic guanidinium salts. We have found that the cycloaddition reactions proceed smoothly at ordinary temperatures and pressures and result in good yields when acyclic guanidinium iodides are employed as catalysts. Both cation moiety and anion moiety of the guanidinium salts play important roles in their catalytic activity. It is essential to have active hydrogens on the cation moiety as well as an iodide ion as the anion moiety so as to achieve good catalytic activity. Guanidinium iodides with three or more active hydrogens give cyclic carbonates in high yields in polar solvents such as 1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one, whereas the guanidinium iodides with one or two active hydrogens show good catalytic activity in less polar solvents such as 2-methyltetrahydrofuran.
