Abstract
•Azaphosphatranes in the synthesis of styrene carbonate from CO2 and epoxides•Substitution tuning at the PH+ site led to increased activity and robustness.•H-bonding between F or OMe groups and PH+ results in larger stabilizing effects.
Various N-substituted azaphosphatranes have been prepared and successfully applied to the synthesis of styrene carbonates from CO2 and epoxides. Enhancement of the catalytic properties of the azaphosphatrane was achieved upon pre-organization of the active site through hydrogen-bonding.
