PF 50-01-1594A PREPARATION OF ALKYLENE CARBONATES FROM OLEFINS A process for the preparation of a cyclic alkylene carbonate ester which comprises reacting in a liquid phase a cyclic or linear olefin having from 2 to 15 carbon atoms with carbon dioxide at a temperature of from 50 to 160.degree.C, at a total pressure of from 200 to about 2,000 psig and a pH value of between about 4 and 8, in the presence of oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas and a catalytic amount of a mixture of (a) iodine or an iodide of a metal selected from Groups IA, IB, IIA, IIB, VB, VIIB and VIII of the Periodic Table of Elements and (b) a catalytic iron compound, copper compound or mixture thereof deposited on an inert supporting material, and recovering resulting cyclic alkylene carbonate ester. |
