Figure S1. High pressure CO 2 generator and reaction cell (upper left) and temperature control setup (upper right). The reaction cell is indicated by the arrow in both figures. The layout of the components of the high pressure instrument is shown in the diagram at the bottom.
The stainless steel reaction cell, with three quartz windows, was designed and manufactured at the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina). Super-ambient temperatures were achieved with four cartridge electric heating elements and a rheostat in a system. Temperature was monitored by an Omega HH503 microprocessor thermometer connected to a J-K-T thermocouple. High pressure generators (Model: 50-6-15; Pressure rating: 15,000 psi; capacity per stroke: 20 mL), valves and tubings were purchased from High Pressure Equipment Company (HIP), Pennsylvania. The 0-25000 psi pressure gauge was purchased from McDaniel Controls, Inc. Electronic Supplementary Material (ESI) for Green Chemistry This journal is The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011 GC response factor calculations F i (R-molar) = (area refer /mol refer )/(area comp /mol comp ) (S1) The response factor (F i (R-molar)) was calculated according to eq S1. 1 Here, area refer and area comp are the areas of the peaks of a reference compound (biphenyl) and an a epoxide or a b product, respectively. Mol refer and mol comp are the known (by preparation) concentrations of the biphenyl and a or b, respectively. From a plot of area ratios versus composition ratios in samples with known amounts of each, F i (biphenyl/b) and F i (biphenyl/a) were calculated; see Figure S2 for 2a and 2b, for example, where F i (biphenyl/2b) = 1.18 (R 2 = 0.998) and F i (biphenyl/2a) = 1.20 (R 2 = 0.999). Response factors for the other epoxides and cyclic carbonates are collected in Table S1. 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2 1.4 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2 1.4 1.6 (I)

(1) C6 amidine (0.34 g, 2.0 mmol), and LiBr (0.44 g, 5.0 mmol) were added to a solution of Electronic Supplementary Material (ESI) for Green Chemistry This journal is The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011 cyclohexene oxide (3a) (2.0 g, 20 mmol) in 5.0 mL of DMF in a flask with a 1 cm teflon stir bar. CO 2 (g) from a gas balloon was attached to the flask through a rubber stopper and the reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature under CO 2 atmosphere for 72 h. (2) C6 amidine (0.34 g, 2.0 mmol), and LiBr (0.44 g, 5.0 mmol) were added to a solution of cyclohexene oxide (3a) (2.0 g, 20 mmol) in a flask with a 1 cm teflon stir bar. CO 2 (g) from a gas balloon was attached to the flask through a rubber stopper and the reaction was allowed to vigorously stir at room temperature under CO 2 atmosphere for 24 h. (3) C6 amidine (0.34 g, 2.0 mmol), and C6-HBr (1.25 g, 5.0 mmol) were added to a solution of cyclohexene oxide (3a) (2.0 g, 20 mmol) in a flask with a 1 cm teflon stir bar. CO 2 (g) from a gas balloon was attached to the flask through a rubber stopper and the reaction was allowed to vigorously stir at room temperature under CO 2 atmosphere for 24 h.
