Synthesis of Bis(cyclic carbonates) from Epoxy Resin under Microwave Irradiation: The Structural Analysis and Evaluation of Thermal Properties.

ABSTRACT: This article describes the use of microwave irradiation in the synthesis of bis(cyclo carbonate) compounds (BCCs) in bulk (without solvent) from carbon dioxide capture using an epoxidized compound-a commercial epoxy resin-and compares this process to the conventional method. CO₂ cycloaddition to epoxides is an ecological and efficient method for the formation of bis(cyclic carbonates). Moreover, the introduction of gas into the reaction mixture was carried out at atmospheric pressure with a controlled flow rate, which is advantageous from an economic point of view. Progressive structural changes and the presence of characteristic chemical groups were monitored using attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy with Fourier transform. The obtained crude products were purifi
