The use of CO as a C1 building block will be of essential importance in the future. In this context the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and CO gained great attention recently. These products are valuable compounds in a variety of chemical fields. The development of new catalysts and catalytic systems for this atom-economic, scalable, and industrially relevant reaction is a highly active research field. Over the past 17 years great advances have been made in this area of research. This chapter covers the survey of the important known classes of homogeneous catalysts for the addition of CO to epoxides. Besides pioneering work, recent developments and procedures that allow this transformation under mild reaction conditions (reaction temperatures of ≤100 °C and/or CO pressures of 0.1 MPa) are especially emphasized.
CO 作为 C1 构建块的使用在未来将是至关重要的。在这方面，最近人们对环氧丙烷和 CO 合成环状碳酸酯给予了极大的关注。这些产品在各种化学领域都是有价值的化合物。开发用于这种原子经济、可扩展和具有工业相关性的反应的新型催化剂和催化体系是一个非常活跃的研究领域。在过去的 17 年中，这一研究领域取得了重大进展。本章综述了用于环氧丙烷加成 CO 的重要已知均相催化剂类别。除了开创性的工作，还特别强调了允许在温和反应条件下（反应温度≤100°C 和/或 CO 压力为 0.1MPa）进行这种转化的最新进展和程序。
