What is Use of Carbon Dioxide in Chemical Syntheses via a Lactone Intermediate about?
Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is available in almost infinite amounts in our atmosphere and oceans, but its utilisation as feedstock for the chemical industry is often prevented by its thermodynamic stability. Only a few processes based on CO 2 as a raw material were realised in a technical scale so far, like the production of urea, methanol or salicylic acid. In the present review mainly catalytic reactions of a lactone platform chemical are described whose production is based on CO 2 as a feedstock. The synthesis of this highly functionalised 1 was already invented in the 1970s and was optimised into miniplant-scale in the meantime. Based on its different functional groups numerous reactions can be carried out starting from this molecule leading to versatile, interesting products: Acids, alcohols or diols as well as aldehydes, amino acids or amines are formed in high yields. Furthermore, esters, silanes or even polymers are obtained using the d-lactone as a building block. Thus, by applying efficient catalytic systems which lead to high selectivities a new approach for the utilisation of CO 2 as a reasonable feedstock for chemical reactions is described.
