Magnesium-porphyrin as an efficient photocatalyst for the transformation of CO₂ to cyclic carbonates and oxazolidinones under ambient conditions

Abstract

Herein, we report an efficient and simple photocatalytic system based on Mg-porphyrin for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates and oxazolidinones. As this reaction uses non-toxic, renewable, and widely available CO 2 , it promotes sustainability.
