Recent progress on the CeO 2 catalyzed synthesis of organic carbonates, ureas, and carbamates from CO 2 +alcohols, CO 2 +amines, and CO 2 +alcohols+amines, respectively, is reviewed. The reactions of CO 2 with alcohols and amines are reversible ones and the degree of the equilibrium limitation of the synthesis reactions is strongly dependent on the properties of alcohols and amines as the substrates. When the equilibrium limitation of the reaction is serious, the equilibrium conversion of the substrate and the yield of the target product is very low, therefore, the shift of the equilibrium reaction to the product side by the removal of H 2 O is essential in order to get the target product in high yield. One of the effective method of the H 2 O removal from the related reaction systems is the combination with the hydration of 2‐cyanopyridine to 2‐picolinamide, which is also catalyzed by CeO 2 .
