Two birds with one stone : The simultaneous production of two important bulk chemicals, methanol and ethylene glycol, from CO 2 and ethylene oxide has been achieved under mild conditions by the highly efficient homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of ethylene carbonate in the presence of a (PNP)Ru II catalyst (see scheme).
