Abstract
This PROJECT proposes the use of byproducts of the sugar industry for the synthesis of organic carbonates through the capture and fixation of carbon dioxide with alcohols. We use the amidines, 1,8-di-azabicicloundeceno (DBU), and 1,5-di-azabiciclononeno (DBN) as catalyst bases and alcohols derived from fusel oil as starting materials. Besides reducing the environmental impact caused by su…
