Abstract: The potential of carbon dioxide and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane in their liquid and supercritical states as environmentally friendly (green) solvents for metal-free liquid-phase chemical transformations has been substantiated. This review summarizes data on N-, O-, and C-nitration carried out in these media. Particular attention is given to the application of liquid (liq-CO2) and supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2) in condensation of carbonyl compounds with amines, including the one-pot tandem transformations of the resulting imines. The oxidative functionalization of cycloalkanes induced by near-UV light in the presence of nitrogen dioxide under sc-CO2 conditions is discussed. The effectiveness of sc-CO2 as a solvent in photooxidation of alcohols and sulfides with molecular oxygen in the presence of such metal-free photocatalysts as 2-fluoroanthraquinone and graphitic carbon nitride is demonstrated. Additionally, recent advances in asymmetric aldol reactions, conjugate additions, and cascade reactions catalyzed by chiral amines in liq-CO2 and sc-CO2 media are reviewed.
