Abstract
This review introduces the recent progresses on the fixation of carbon dioxide (CO2) including 1) the reactions of carbon dioxide with alcohols in the presence of base; 2) the reactions of carbon dioxide with amines in the presence of base; and 3) the transition metal catalyzed carbon dioxide insertion reactions. In the section of transition metal catalyzed fixation of carbon dioxide, we mainly focus on the catalytic process of carbon dioxide insertion reactions promoted by metal catalysts and the emphasis is put on the preparation of the corresponding carbonates or carbamates from CO2 and their further transformations. Keywords: Carbon Dioxide, carbonates, carbamates
