Carbon dioxide is a renewable, inexhaustible, and cheap alternative to fossil resources for the production of fine chemicals and plastics. It can notably be converted into exovinylene cyclic carbonates, unique synthons gaining momentum for the preparation of an impressive range of important organic molecules and functional polymers, in reactions proceeding with 100 % atom economy under mild operating conditions in most cases. This Review summarizes the recent advances in their synthesis with particular attention on describing the catalysts needed for their preparation and discussing the unique reactivity of these CO -based heterocycles for the construction of diverse organic building blocks and (functional) polymers. We also discuss the challenges and the future perspectives in the field.
二氧化碳是一种可再生、取之不尽且廉价的替代化石资源，可用于生产精细化学品和塑料。在大多数情况下，它能在温和的操作条件下，通过原子经济性达100%的反应，显著转化为外亚乙烯基环状碳酸酯，这是一类独特的合成子，在制备一系列重要有机分子和功能聚合物方面正获得越来越多的关注。本综述总结了其合成方面的最新进展，特别着重于描述制备所需的催化剂，并讨论这些基于CO的杂环化合物在构建各种有机结构单元和（功能）聚合物方面的独特反应性。我们还讨论了该领域的挑战和未来前景。
