- A Phosphonium Ylide as a Ligand for [3 + 2] Coupling Reactions of Epoxides with Heterocumulenes under Mild Conditions
-
The potential of carbonyl-stabilized phosphonium ylides as ligands for novel catalysis was explored. We found that the combination of phosphonium ylides and metal halide salts efficiently catalyzed the reaction of epoxides with carbon dioxide under mild c

- Bifunctional organocatalysts for the conversion of CO2, epoxides and aryl amines to 3-aryl-2-oxazolidinones
-
A route to synthesize 3-aryl-2-oxazolidinones is developed, which is achieved through a three component reaction between CO2, aryl amines, and epoxides with a binary organocatalytic system composed of organocatalysts and DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene). The method allows wide scopes of epoxide and aryl amine substrates with various functional groups under mild reaction conditions. The control experiments indicate that a cyclic carbonate is formed via cycloaddition of epoxides with CO2, which further reacts with the β-amino alcohol originating from epoxides and aryl amines, resulting in the formation of 3-aryl-2-oxazolidinones finally.

- Conversion of Carbon Dioxide into Oxazolidinones Mediated by Quaternary Ammonium Salts and DBU
-
A straightforward method to construct oxazolidinones through a three-component reaction involving CO2, epoxides, and amines promoted by a combination of Bu4NI and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene was developed. A wide range of aromatic and aliphatic amines and monosubstituted epoxides were converted into 3,5-disubstituted-2-oxazolidines in up to 95 % yield. This metal-free and easily available catalytic system was applicable to a broad range of substrates, including conventionally challenging ones such as aliphatic epoxides, at atmospheric pressure. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggested a reaction pathway involving β-amino alcohols.

- Tetraarylphosphonium Salt-Catalyzed Synthesis of Oxazolidinones from Isocyanates and Epoxides
-
Preparation of a range of oxazolidinones, including enantioenriched N-aryl-substituted oxazolidinones, in which tetraarylphosphonium salts (TAPS) catalyze the [3 + 2] coupling reaction of isocyanates and epoxides effectively, is described. The key finding is a Br?nsted acid/halide ion bifunctional catalyst that can accelerate epoxide ring opening with high regioselectivity. Mechanistic studies disclosed that the ylide generated from TAPS, along with the formation of halohydrins, plays a crucial role in the reaction with isocyanates.

- Transformation of Carbon Dioxide into Oxazolidinones and Cyclic Carbonates Catalyzed by Rare-Earth-Metal Phenolates
-
Rare-earth-metal complexes stabilized by amine-bridged tri(phenolato) ligands were developed, and their activities in catalyzing transformations of CO2 were studied. A series of terminal epoxides and challenging disubstituted epoxides were converted into the respective cyclic carbonates in the presence of CO2 in yields of 58 to 96 %. In addition, these rare-earth-metal complexes also showed good activities in catalyzing three-component reactions of anilines, epoxides, and CO2, which generated 5-substituted-3-aryl-2-oxazolidines in yields of 48 to 96 %, as a useful strategy to construct oxazolidinones.
