Abstract Use of carbon dioxide in industrial organic syntheses . Although carbon dioxide is important as an abundant carbonaceous raw material, its utilization in chemical processes so far has been rather limited. This review covers the reactions of CO 2 employed in industry, such as the production of urea, the Kolbe‐Schmitt reaction, the synthesis of cyclic organic carbonates, and the use of CO 2 in methanol synthesis. Interesting recent developments in CO 2 chemistry, especially the transition metal catalyzed reactions, are also elucidated. In addition to the synthesis of polymers and hydrocarbons, the production of oxygen‐containing chemicals seems to be very profitable and attractive for future industrial applications. Not only can derivatives of formic acid and carbonic acid be formed but longer‐chain carboxylic acids and their derivatives are also accessible by reactions of carbon dioxide with hydrocarbons such as alkynes, alkenes, and 1,3‐dienes.
