摘      要：Using 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bromide （BM1MBr） as the supporting electrolyte and magne- sium as the sacrificial anode, a new and highly efficient electrochemically catalytic route was devel- oped for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and CO2. Based on the cooperative action of BMIMBr and an electrogenerated magnesium salt obtained under a N2 atmosphere, CO2 reacted with a wide range of epoxides to readily generate cyclic carbonates in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions.
