Abstract

The reactions of CO 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 CO -phlilic homogeneous catalyst were devised for environmentally benign synthesis of cyclic carbonates and oxazolidinones under supercritical CO without any organic solvent. These processes represent pathways for greener chemical fixations of CO to afford industrial useful materials such as organic carbonates and oxazolidinones with great potential applications.
