Valorization of Carbon Dioxide to Organic Products with Organocatalysts

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Transformation and Utilization of Carbon Dioxide

Part of the book series: Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology ((GCST))

Abstract

The search for new and alternative carbon feedstock leads to increasing interest in the (catalytic) transformation of ubiquitous C1-carbon sources, e.g., carbon dioxide into value-added products. With respect to avoiding a carbon footprint, the CO2 activation has to be carried out under mild reaction conditions. Therefore, reactions in solution using molecular metal or metal-free catalysts appear to be particularly suitable. This chapter presents the state-of-the-art methods for the “green” conversion of carbon dioxide to value-added chemicals by metal-free organocatalysts in homogeneous phase.
