Halide-free deep eutectic solvents (DESs) derived from natural biological compounds were used to gently catalyze the cycloaddition reaction between CO 2 and epoxides, with a TOF of 645 h −1 . The DFT calculation result was in good agreement with the experiment result, indicating that the ring closur...
