    Supported catalysts for CO2 cycloaddition reactions
    (University of the Western Cape, 2022) Mba, Rigobert Axel Engo; Titinchi, Salam
    Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major greenhouse gas (GHG) released into the environment due to increasing human activities. Cyclic carbonates on the other hand, are valuable compounds with several functions such as, polar aprotic solvent, and intermediate in chemical synthesis. The cycloaddition reaction of CO2 and epoxides was found to be a promising method for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates, because it uses CO2 as a feed stock, contributing to the reduction of CO2 in the environment.
