| Description | This work concerns recent advances (mainly in the last five years) in the challenging conversion of carbon dioxide $(CO_{2}$) into fine chemicals, in particular to cyclic carbonates, as a meaningful measure to reduce $CO_{2}$ emissions in the atmosphere and subsequent global warming effects. Thus, efficient catalysts and catalytic processes developed to convert $CO_{2}$ into different chemicals towards a more sustainable chemical industry are addressed. Cyclic carbonates can be produced by different routes that directly, or indirectly, use carbon dioxide. Thus, recent findings on $CO_{2}$ cycloaddition to epoxides as well as on its reaction with diols are reviewed. In addition, indirect sources of carbon dioxide, such as urea, considered a sustainable process with high atom economy, are also discussed. Reaction mechanisms for the transformations involved are also presented. |
