“…The formation of carbamato complexes is considered a key step in metal-mediated reactions such as the CO 2 /aziridine coupling [ 306 , 307 , 308 ] and the CO 2 cycloaddition to propargyl amines [ 113 , 309 , 310 , 311 , 312 ] or aminoalcohols [ 306 ]. The production of oxazolidinones (cyclic carbamates) via CO 2 /aziridine coupling is one of the most widely investigated carbon dioxide fixation processes, and many species have been evaluated as catalytic precursors, such as Al(III) [ 313 ], Cr(III) [ 314 ] and Co(III) [ 315 ] salen complexes, and Cu(II) [ 316 ] and Zn(II) [ 317 ] porphyrin complexes. Regarding the cycloadditon of CO 2 to propargylamines, catalysts based on late transition metals are privileged since they offer the possibility to activate the alkyne reactant via η 2 -coordination [ 113 , 318 ].…”
