Cyclic carbonates are industrially important chemicals. In this work, an efficient synthesis of cyclic carbonate was achieved by cyclization of epoxide with CO2 using nanocrystalline lithium promoted magnesia (Li-MgO), without using any co-catalyst or solvent. A series of Li-MgO were prepared by gel combustion method and well characterized. Li-MgO forms active F-centers (crystallographic defect) due to the difference in valence state of lithium (Li+) and magnesium (Mg2+) and acts as an active site for CO2 activation. In the synthesis of 4-(chloromethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-one from epichlorohydrin, 0.75% (w/w) Li-MgO was the most active catalyst for CO2 fixation into cyclic carbonate with excellent conversion (~98%) and selectivity (100%), at 130 °C and 3 MPa of CO2 pressure. The catalyst showed structural stability and was reused for three cycles without loss of activity. The current synthesis protocol is 100% atom-efficient and thus was extended to a variety of substrates. Langmuir- Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson (LHHW) type of mechanism was proposed and kinetics studied. Both reactants are strongly adsorbed making the overall reaction zero order with an apparent activation energy of 15.14 kcal/mol.
