Ionic Liquids Catalysis for Carbon Dioxide Conversion With Nucleophiles.

ABSTRACT: Carbon dioxide, as a promising C₁ synthon, has attracted great interest in organic synthesis. Due to the thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertness of CO₂, developing efficient strategies for CO₂ activation and subsequent conversion is very crucial. In this context, Ionic liquids (ILs) show great potential for capturing and activating CO₂ owing to their unique structures and properties, making them become ideal alternatives to volatile organic solvents and/or catalysts for CO₂ transformation. This minireview aims at summarizing ILs-promoted reactions of CO₂ with N-nucleophiles (primary amines)/O-nucleophiles (primary alcohols, water). Two catalytic systems i.e., metal/ILs binary systems such as Cu/ILs system
