“…The reaction was carried out under a CO 2 atmosphere to afford the ¡,¢-unsaturated ketone with MW: 188, whereas the ¡,¢-unsaturated ketone with MW: 190 was obtained from C 18 O 2 . As shown in Figure 7, no crossed product with 16 O could be detected at all by GC-MS analysis. Under a nitrogen atmosphere, no reaction proceeded.…”

“…Oxazolidinones have been employed as reliable auxiliaries for various selective synthetic organic reactions. Oxazolidinones have been conventionally prepared from the corresponding 2-aminoalcohols with phosgene, 16 however its high toxicity and environmental burden have been seriously considered. The oxazolidinone preparation from CO 2 is one of the most attractive synthetic methods not using phosgene.…”

A silver/DBU catalyst system was developed for the effective synthesis of cyclic carbonate and oxazolidinone from the reaction of CO 2 with propargylic alcohols and propargylic amines, respectively, in high yields under mild conditions. It was found that the [3,3]-sigmatropic MeyerSchuster-type rearrangement of the propargylic alcohol was mediated by CO 2 in DMF to afford the corresponding ¡,¢-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in high yields. The silver salt combined with the chiral Schiff base ligand could be applied to enantioselective chemical CO 2 incorporation into various bispropargylic alcohols to produce the corresponding cyclic carbonate in high yields with high enantioselectivity. The absolute configuration was determined by VCD spectroscopy as well as by X-ray analysis. These products were found to be active for the aminolysis reaction to afford the corresponding carbamate derivatives in high yields without any loss of optical purity.An enormous amount of energy has been generated by the oxidation of hydrocarbons in order to make our life comfortable and convenient while generating an enormous amount of CO 2 worldwide.1 Because the most oxidized form of the carbon derivatives is much less reactive, its application to organic synthesis has been considered to be one of the most challenging research topics. As well as the chemical fixation of CO 2 , much effort has been made to utilize CO 2 as an attractive C1 feedstock for organic synthesis due to its ubiquitous, abundant, and nontoxic properties, however due to its lower reactivity, harsh reaction conditions are required to activate and incorporate CO 2 into organic compounds.2 It is necessary to develop a mild reaction system including catalysts to efficiently capture CO 2 into a wide variety of substrates, especially fine-chemicals. Various synthetic reactions of CO 2 have been reported. Typically enol derivatives, 3 Grignard reagents, 4 and alkyllithium compounds 5 readily react with CO 2 to afford the corresponding carboxylic acids, though a stoichiometric amount of a strong nucleophile is employed. Transition-metals, such as nickel, 6 rhodium, 7 palladium, 8 copper, 2e,9 and gold, 2e can catalyze the reaction of CO 2 to produce the corresponding carboxylic acid and lactone derivatives. However, it is required to prepare in advance reactants containing a boron, halogen moiety, etc., and the scope and applicability are limited.It was recently found that a catalytic amount of a silver salt as a ³-Lewis acid to activate an alkyne combined with the use of DBU is an efficient catalyst system for the reaction of CO 2 with propargylic derivatives. We now report that a silver salt/DBU combination catalyzes the reaction of CO 2 with propargylic alcohols 10a and propargylic amines 10b to produce the corresponding cyclic carbonates and oxazolidinones in good to excellent yields, respectively. We also describe that a MeyerSchuster-type rearrangement is mediated by CO 2 in the presence of a catalytic amount of silver methanesulfonate and a base to afford the corre...

Dedicated to Professor Ryoji Noyori -a remarkable person; a cherished friend; a truly exceptional scientist, with an extraordinary number of landmark contributions to research and innovation.Abstract: A versatile method for the reaction of N-alkyl-2-vinylazetidines with heterocumulenes has been established using a Pd(OAc) 2 /PPh 3 catalyst system at room temperature. Minor modifications in the design of either substrate allowed for the optimization of product yield. Evidence for p-allylpalladium formation was obtained from the reaction of trans-1-butyl-4-methyl-2-vinylazetidine, which afforded a cis/trans mixture of products arising from stereochemical inversion through h 3 -h 1 -h 3 isomerization.

“…The i.r. absorption of the carbonyl group of 2-oxazolidones is characteristically in the 1740-1810 cm-' region and very often at or above 1760 cm-' (2). However, the carbonyl of 2-oxazolidone itself is reported to absorb a t 1724 (6) and 1730 cm-' (7).…”
