The development of an efficient methodology to transform CO2 into valuable chemicals has attracted increasing attention concerning the challenging issues of CO2-utilization. Herein, an efficient approach for the preparation of oxazolidinones from CO2, primary (aliphatic/aromatic) amines and 1,2-dichloroethane (or its derivatives) catalyzed by DBU organo-superbase was achieved with yields of 47-97% under mild conditions (80-100 °C, 12 h, 1.0 MPa CO2). Control experiments demonstrated that the formation of an ion-pair carbamate salt intermediate IS-B derived from the reaction of CO2, DBU (catalyst) and an amine (substrate) was the key step for this three-component reaction. The available DBU-amine-CO2 adduct intermediate (like IS-B-2) with fair stability will evolve into the thermodynamically stable product oxazolidinones upon attack of 1,2-dichloroethane (or its derivatives), along with the regeneration of the DBU catalyst. Alternatively, the decomposition of the DBU-aryl amine-CO2 adduct (like IS-B-1) with relatively poor stability also could result in the competitive substitution reaction of 1,2-dichloroethane (or its derivatives) with the aryl amine. This work provides insights into synergetic CO2-activation by the DBU-catalyst and a nucleophilic amine-substrate via the formation of robust carbamate salt intermediates responsible for the final production of oxazolidinones.

A mixture of triphenylphosphine (Ph3P) and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone in CH2Cl2 affords a complex which in the presence of R4NX (X=Cl, Br, I) converts alcohols, thiols and selenols into their corresponding alkyl halides in high yields at room temperature. The method is highly selective for the conversion of 1° alcohols in the presence of 2° ones and also 1° and 2° alcohols in the presence of 3° alcohols, thiols, epoxides, trimethylsilyl- and tetrahydropyranyl ethers, 1,3 dithianes, disulfides, and amides.
