The synthesis of cyclic carbonates by cycloaddition of CO 2 to epoxides is a convenient non-reductive strategy to valorize carbon dioxide. Biphasic chemistry is an emerging and convenient approach to carry out catalytic reactions; processes where water constitutes one of the distinct layers of the r...
