title: Re(CO)5Br-catalyzed coupling of epoxides with CO2 affording cyclic carbonates under solvent-free conditions.
abstract: In the presence of a catalytic amount of Re(CO)(5)Br, the coupling of epoxides with supercritical CO(2) without an organic solvent at 110 degrees C has afforded cyclic carbonates in good to excellent yields.
