Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs), especially basic ILs with unique physicochemical properties, have wide application in catalysis. Using basic ILs as catalysts for the conversion of cheap, abundant, nontoxic, and renewable CO2 into value-added organic carbonates is highly significant in view of environmental and economic issues. This review aims at giving a detailed overview on the recent advances on basic ILs promoted chemical transformation of CO2 to cyclic and linear carbonates. The structures of various basic ILs, as well as the basic ILs promoted reactions for the transformation of CO2 to organic carbonates are discussed in detail, including the reaction conditions, the yields of target products, the catalytic activities of basic ILs and the reaction mechanism.
