The mechanism of the reaction between an aziridine and carbon dioxide with no added catalyst

, (2018)
The mechanism of the reaction at room temperature between an unactivated 2-alkyl aziridine and carbon dioxide to generate the corresponding oxazolidinone in glass has been studied. Theoretical calculations suggest that this reaction should not proceed at room temperature in the absence of a catalyst. In cases where a reaction was observed, kinetic studies show that the reaction displays a zero-order dependence with respect to aziridine, indicating that free aziridine is not involved in the rate-determining step. An ammonium salt generated in situ acts as a catalyst. The amount of this catalyst is diminutive, which prevented spectroscopic identification, and it is not readily removed from the starting material using chromatography.
A One-Pot Iodo-Cyclization/Transition Metal-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Sequence: Synthesis of Substituted Oxazolidin-2-ones from N-Boc-allylamines

A one-pot iodo-cyclization/transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling sequence is reported to access various C5-functionalized oxazolidin-2-ones from unsaturated N-Boc-allylamines. Depending on the Grignard reagents used for the cross-coupling, e.g., aryl- or cyclopropylmagnesium bromide, a cobalt or copper catalyst has to be used to obtain the functionalized oxazolidin-2-ones in good yields.
The solvent-free and catalyst-free conversion of an aziridine to an oxazolidinone using only carbon dioxide

experimental part, p. 3224 - 3229 (2011/12/16)
It has been found for the first time at room temperature that the reaction of an unactivated 2-alkyl or 2-aryl aziridine with carbon dioxide to generate the corresponding oxazolidinone does not need any form of catalysis or solvent to proceed in high yiel
