Abstract
The possible reaction paths of synthesis of propylene carbonate catalyzed by proline ionic liquid were studied by density functional theory (DFT).The geometries of reactants, transition states and products were optimized at M06/6-31+G(d) theoretical level.All stationary point and transition states were verified according to the number of imaginary frequency through harmonic vibrational analysis, transition states were also confirmed by intrinsic reaction coordinate analysis.Single point energy for each species was recalculated at M06/6-311++G(2d,p) theoretical level.The results indicated that 2,4-pentanedione was activated by proline anion through a proton transfer reaction to yield 2,4-pentanedione anion which contained a carbon anion.The synthesis of propylene carbonate was catalyzed by the 2,4-pentanedione anion.Alternatively, the 2,4-pentanedione anion was able to be carboxylated by CO2.The carboxylated 2,4-pentanedione anion showed a higher catalytic activity, however, the carboxylation reaction was a thermodynamic unfavorable process.
