Abstract

The organic cyclic carbonates, polycarbonates, including their enantiomers, were documented. Their applications in organic synthesis, new material fabrications, industry, agriculture, and medical treatment were described and envisioned. The mechanism of formation of polycarbonates and cyclic carbonated might be discussed.
