[en] Due to concerns about global warming combined with the decrease of fossil resources, the chemical transformation of carbon dioxide (CO2) into added-value products has gained interest in both academic and industrial fields. To date, the chemical fixation of CO2 onto epoxides with the formation of cyclic carbonates (CC) is one of the most promising ways to valorise CO2 at an industrial scale. Indeed, CC are useful monomers for polycarbonate synthesis and they can react with primary amines to produce 2-hydroxyethylurethane. This reaction can be extrapolated to the synthesis of non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) by a step growth polymerization between bifunctional CC and diamines.
