Facile and Mild Process for Chemical Fixation of CO₂to 4-Methylene-1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones Under Solvent-Free Conditions

Abstract

Abstract 4-Methylene-1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones were prepared via the cycloadditon reaction of propargylic alcohols with primary amines and CO2 under atmospheric pressure at 60 °C in the absence of any additional solvent. This methodology affords an ecofriendly, mild, and easy approach to chemical fixation of CO2.
