Cyclic carbonates are valuable compounds that have applications in a variety of chemical fields. Methodologies for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates are well investigated in recent years, and the most successful and popular procedure is the utilization of CO 2 . This paper presents recent progress in the synthesis of cyclic carbonates by a CO 2 ‐fixation process, which involves novel palladium‐catalyzed CO 2 ‐recycling reactions.
