Abstract

Various amino-functional ionic liquids were developed as homogeneous catalysts for the cycloaddition of carbon dioxide to different epoxides yielding the corresponding cyclic carbonates under metal- and solvent-free conditions. The effects of reaction temperature, reaction time, CO2 pressure, and the amount of catalyst on the cycloaddition reaction were investigated. The catalysts could be easily recovered after the reaction and then reused at least eight times without noticeable loss of activity and selectivity. Reaction kinetic studies were undertaken, the reaction was apparently first order with respect to the concentration of epoxide and catalyst. Furthermore, the rate constants were determined over a temperature range of 100–130°C and the activation energy was determined to be 45.9 kJ mol−1. Finally, a possible reaction mechanism was proposed. The amino-functional ionic liquids showed the advantage of high catalytic activity and were easily recyclable for CO2 chemical fixation into valuable chemicals.
