Novel heterogeneous catalyst systems comprised of a fibrous nanosilica-supported nano-Ni@Pd-based ionic liquid (KCC-1/IL/Ni@Pd) are described for the cyclization of propargylic amines with CO 2 to provide 2-oxazolidinones.KCC-1 with high surface area was functionalized with IL acting as a robust anchor so that the nano-Ni@Pd was well dispersed on the fibres of the KCC-1 microspheres, without aggregation. Because of the amplification effect of IL, high loading capacities of the nanocatalysts were achieved. The reported synthesis includes several advantages like solvent-free conditions, operational simplicity, short reaction times, environmentally benign reaction conditions, cost effectiveness, high atom economy and excellent yields, making it a genuinely green protocol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
