Abstract

The sustainable synthesis of organic molecules and polymeric materials from carbon dioxide is one of the biggest challenges the scientific community and the chemicals industry are facing. In this context, the preparation of cyclic organic carbonates and polycarbonates from epoxides and carbon dioxide are among the most studied processes for carbon dioxide utilization. Recent developments have showed a shift from the use of fossil fuel resources toward the use of bio-derived starting materials for the production of bio-derived organic or polymeric carbonates. In this chapter, we cover recent advances on the use of bio-based feedstocks and carbon dioxide as a sustainable C 1 building block for the synthesis of bio-sourced organic carbonates and sustainable hybrid materials.
