This review is an overview on the recent advances in the synthesis of 2-oxazolidinones through CO2 fixation reactions under solvent-free conditions.

The diaryl ether moiety is not only prevalent in a significant number of natural products and synthetic pharmaceuticals but also widely found in many pesticides, polymers, and ligands. Ullmann-type crosscoupling reactions between phenols and aryl halides are regarded as one of the most important methods for the synthesis of this important and versatile structural motif. In recent years, the use of nano-sized metal catalysts in this coupling reaction has attracted a lot of attention because of these catalysts with their high surface-to-volume ratio, high surface energy, and reactive morphology allows for rapid C-O bond formation under mild and ligand-free conditions. In this review we will highlight the power of these catalysts in Ullmann-type C-O cross-coupling reactions.

Carboxylic acids and their derivatives are ubiquitous compounds in organic chemistry, and are widely commercially available in a large structural variety.

This review article surveys literature methods for the synthesis of six-membered cyclic carbonates using various substrates in the presence of CO2 with special emphasis on the mechanistic aspects of the reactions.

Imidazole and its derivatives are privileged N-heterocyclic structures present in various natural products and synthetic pharmaceuticals.

In this article, we studied the interactions between Mg atom and Mg2+ ion and four nanostructures, including a nanocone, nanotube (4,0), nanosheet, and C60 nanocage, to obtain the cell voltages (V) for Mg-ion batteries (MIBs).

This review updates recent advances and developments in the direct fluorination and amination of (hetero)aromatic C–H bonds utilizing N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide, classified according to the type of catalyst.

This review provides an overview of the direct synthesis of five-membered cyclic carbonates via oxidative carboxylation of the corresponding olefins and carbon dioxide.
