Entities provide a way to insert special characters using only ASCII.
You are trying to use them as a templating system, or some such, which
is not the initial use case.

You have control over what the LaTeX output will be, e.g., CO_{$2$}, or
\(CO_2\), whichever you need.

IOW, I think a package like Yasnippet already fulfills your needs.
