Abstract

This paper reports a direct route for the preparation of cyclic styrene carbonate from styrene, which avoids the preliminary synthesis and isolation of styrene oxide. A catalyst system consisting of Au/SiO₂, zinc bromide, and tetrabutylammonium bromide (Bu₄NBr) has been applied to the one-pot synthesis of styrene carbonate from styrene, organic peroxide, and CO₂. Au/SiO₂ is active for the epoxidation of styrene, and zinc bromide and Bu₄NBr cooperatively catalyze the subsequent CO₂ cycloaddition to epoxide. The influence of various reaction parameters, such as CO₂ pressure, reaction temperature, reaction time, catalyst amount, ratio of oxidant to styrene, and oxidant type, has been investigated in detail.
