Synthesis of Cyclic Carbonates from Epoxides Using Sodium Bicarbonate under Microwave Irradiation

摘要

A microwave assisted synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides utilizing catalytic N- bromosuccinimide (NBS) and stoichiometric sodium bicarbonate instead of C02 has been developed. The comparison study between microwave and conventional oil bath indicated significant merit associated with microwave.
