NHC catalyzed CO₂ fixation with epoxides: Probable mechanisms reveal ter molecular pathway
2011
Ajitha, Manjaly J. | Suresh, Cherumuttathu H.
Six different pathways for the NHC-mediated CO₂ transformation reaction of epoxide to cyclic carbonate are investigated with DFT method at MPWB1K/6-311++G(3df,2p) level which confirms that the most favorable pathway is ter molecular in nature and passes through a regioselective SN2 anti-attack of NHC on the least substituted carbon of the epoxide-CO₂ complex.
