Efficient Non-Catalytic Carboxylation of Diamines to Cyclic Ureas Using 2-Pyrrolidone as a Solvent and a Promoter

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.).

Direct synthesis of imines via solid state reactions of carbamates with aldehydes

Various solid carbamates were prepared from the reactions of liquid amines with carbon dioxide in an autoclave and these carbamates were used as stable, efficient alternatives for toxic liquid amines. Solid-state grinding of carbamates and aldehydes, using a mortar and pestle, produced imines as the sole products in greater than 97% yields. Complete conversions were generally accomplished within a day at 25 °C without using solvents or additives. Reaction rates were drastically enhanced upon increasing the reaction temperature. In contrast, reactions of aldehydes with liquid amines in the presence of solvent or in neat conditions afforded imines in moderate yields along with by-products.
