A New Quaternized Chitosan-Based Catalyst Obtained by an Environmentally-Friendly Synthesis Route for Green Production of Carbonated Molecules from Terminal Epoxides

ABSTRACT: Using CO2 as a building block to produce monomers through carbonation (cycloaddition reaction) provides an attractive approach to carbon dioxide valorization. The design of an efficient, cheap, and reusable catalyst for epoxide carbonation remains a challenge. In this paper, a new quaterni...
