Abstract
The selective hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol was carried out using an FLP [frustrated Lewis pairs]-based nonmetal-mediated process at low pressures (1-2 atm). The first step is heterolytic activation of H and subsequent insertion of CO2 into a B-H bond of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine [TMP] and B(C6F5)3 forming [TMPH][HB(C6F5)3].; introduction of CO2 produced the formatoborate complex [TMPH]-[HCO2B(C6F5)3]. Selective distn. at 100° resulted in decompn. of the intermediate complex with recovery of methanol. The process provides for utilization of CO2 greenhouse gas, solving problems related to storage of sequestered gas, with further benefit of prodn. of methanol as fuel and chem. feedstock.
