“…Apart from isocyanates, carbon dioxide [108,109], urea [110,111], and 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole [112][113][114] are used as carbonylating agents in the synthesis of 1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones. Patil et al [109] studied reactions of various epoxides (1,2-epoxypropane, phenyloxirane, epoxycyclohexane, epichlorohydrin, and 2,3-epoxypropyl ethers) with carbon dioxide in the presence of amino alcohols and Br -PPh 3 + -PEG-600-PPh 3 + Br -as efficient homogeneous catalyst.…”
