Abstract

Abstract The present protocol involves highly efficient and practical approach for the synthesis of cyclic carbonate via oxidative carbonylation of diols, glycerol, and its derivatives using Pd/C as a heterogeneous, inexpensive, and recyclable catalyst. The effect of various reaction parameters, such as solvent, base, time, and temperature was investigated and applied for the synthesis of value added cyclic carbonates in a good to excellent yield ...
