Carbonates from CO2 and Epoxides. — Bifunctional catalysts containing an electro-philic salen-type center and a sterically hindered nucleophilic center of the MTBD-type are developed and PSL is found to be optimal for the transformations. Chiral propylene oxide (IIIa) affords the carbonate product with retention of configuration. However, the attempt to prepare optically active (IIIa) from the racemic educt in the presence of chiral PSL is not effective. — (ZHANG, X.; JIA, Y.-B.; LU, X.-B.; LI, B.; WANG, H.; SUN*, L.-C.; Tetrahedron Lett. 49 (2008) 46, 6589-6592; State Key Lab.
