The production of organic cyclic carbonates as valuable chemicals was carried out using a green and sustainable catalytic strategy for the environmentally friendly metal and halide-free CO2 fixation. A series of novel chiral boron compounds (B1 and B1a-1d with B2 and B2a-2d) was synthesized, systematically characterized and applied for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates via CO2 insertion into epoxides under reasonably mild reaction conditions. The prepared chiral boron compounds were characterized by NMR (1H, 13C, and 11B), FT-IR, UV–Vis spectroscopy, LC-MS/MS spectrometry. The thus characterized chiral boron compounds were used as Lewis acids for the cycloaddition reaction of CO2 to epoxides in the presence of halide-free 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) as a nucleophilic catalytic component. Importantly, the performance of the newly synthesized compounds was also compared to that of a series of commercially available boron compounds. Halide-free commercially available boron Lewis acids generally showed lower conversion and/or selectivity under the applied reaction conditions that the newly synthesized compounds. The most active chiral boron compounds, dioxaborinanes (B1a) and (B1d), were selective for cyclic carbonate production under atmospheric pressure and were also screened under mild CO2 pressures to afford higher conversion without significantly affecting cyclic carbonate selectivity.
