Abstract
An aluminum complex based on an amino triphenolate ligand scaffold shows unprecedented high activity (initial TOFs up to 36,000 h(-1)), broad substrate scope, and functional group tolerance in the formation of highly functional organic carbonates prepared from epoxides and CO(2). The developed catalytic protocol is further characterized by low catalyst loadings and relative mild reaction conditions using a cheap, abundant, and nontoxic metal.
