Abstract

The reactions of CO₂ with oxirane to produce cyclic carbonate, and with aziridine to afford oxazolidine have been of interest as a useful method for its fixation by a chemical process. Highly efficient processesemploying recyclable CO₂-phlilic homogeneous catalyst were devised for environmentally benign synthesis of cyclic carbonates and oxazolidinones under supercritical CO₂ without any organic solvent. These processes represent pathways for greener chemical fixations of CO₂ to afford industrial useful materials such as organic carbonates and oxazolidinones with great potential applications.
