Carboxylation reactions of diamines were found to proceed rapidly and non-catalytically, producing corresponding cyclic ureas in excellent yields and selectivities when 2-pyrrolidone (2-PY) was used as a solvent. A similar promoting effect with 2-PY was also observed for the carboxylation of monoamines by carbon dioxide (CO2). Most notably, the carboxylation reactions of mono- and diamines conducted in 2-PY afforded 2–4 times higher yields of corresponding dialkyl ureas and cyclic ureas compared with those in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). Such a dramatic promoting effect using 2-PY is believed to be associated with the multiple hydrogen bonding interactions between 2-PY and the CO2-containing species of amines. Due to such favorable interactions, carboxylation reactions seem to be more facilitated in 2-PY than in NMP. (Figure presented.).

The first example for the photocatalytic generation of a highly electrophilic intermediate that is not based on radical reactivity is reported. The single-electron reduction of bench-stable and commercially available 4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzonitrile by an organic photosensitizer leads to its fragmentation into fluorophosgene and benzonitrile. The in situ generated fluorophosgene was used for the preparation of carbonates, carbamates, and urea derivatives in moderate to excellent yields via an intramolecular cyclization reaction. Transient spectroscopic investigations suggest the formation of a catalyst charge-transfer complex-dimer as the catalytic active species. Fluorophosgene as a highly reactive intermediate, was indirectly detected via its next downstream carbonyl fluoride intermediate by NMR. Furthermore, detailed NMR analyses provided a comprehensive reaction mechanism including a water dependent off-cycle equilibrium.
