Angelo Scopano - DC5 Cyclic carbonates are usually obtained from coupling of carbon dioxide and epoxides. The latter are generally prepared through the selective oxidation of alkenes or other compounds containing a double bond. However, a one-pot route in which an...

Giovanni Berluti - DC6 In this work, we developed a new, fully renewable catalytic strategy to synthesise an industrially relevant bio-based cyclic carbonate: 2,5-bis-dicarboxyl furan cyclic carbonate (BDFCC). This compound contains two terminal cyclic carbonate...

  Nishant Chaudhary - DC8 Ring-opening copolymerization (ROCOP) of CO2 and epoxides witnesses continued interest to access sustainable polycarbonates. Introduction of an exocyclic functional group onto the epoxides enables to tune and diversify the properties of...
