Abstract

Abstract Binaphthyldiamino, ethyldiamino and cyclohexyldiamino Schiff bases can catalyze the reaction of epoxides with carbon dioxide in the presence of catalytic amounts of various organic bases to give the corresponding cyclic carbonates in high yields. The simplest binaphthyldiamino Schiff base, derived from the reaction of binaphthyldiamine with salicylaldehyde, gave the highest yield of cyclic carbonate. This catalytic system can be ...
