Ting‐Kai Xiong, Xuejun Li, Min Zhang, Ying Liang
Abstract
In this review, recent progress in the application of CO2 as an electrophilic reagent and nitrogen as a nucleophilic center under different catalytic conditions in organic synthesis is summarized. The used catalytic methods in the reactions of CO2 and nitrogen are classified as metal catalysis, metal-free catalysis, photocatalysis and electrocatalysis. Various catalytic conditions have been used to solve the problems of thermodynamic properties and stability of CO2. The transformation mechanisms of these reactions are discussed.
