A simple approach for facile synthesis of 5-aryl-2-oxazolidinones in excellent regioselectivity from aziridines under compressed CO2 conditions was developed in the absence of any catalyst and organic solvent. The reaction outcome was found to be tuned by subtly adjusting CO2 pressure. The adduct formed in situ of aziridine and CO2 is assumed to act as a catalyst in this reaction, which was also studied by means of in situ FT-IR technique.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A quaternary ammonium bromide covalently bound to polyethylene glycol (PEG, MW = 6000), i.e., PEG6000- (NBu3Br)2, was found to be an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the cycloaddition reaction of aziridines to CO2 under mild conditions without utilization of additional organic solvents or cocatalysts. As a result, 5-aryl-2-oxazolidinone was obtained in high yield with excellent regioselectivity. The catalyst worked well for a wide variety of 1-alkyl-2-arylaziridines. Besides, the catalyst could be recovered by centrifugation and reused without significant loss of catalytic activity and selectivity.

(S)-(+)-N, N - Dimethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-pyrrolidinium (DMHP +)-mercury compound mediated enantioselective reduction of aminomethyl alkyl/aryl ketones in dimethylformamide-2-propanol (9:1) has been carried out using tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate as a supporting electrolyte. The products viz. 2-amino-1-alkyl/aryl ethanols have been obtained in good yield (68-92%) with 35-91% optical purity and have been assigned (S)-configuration. The pinacol (racemic/meso) derivatives are also isolated as minor products (yield 5-20%) via dimerization of radical anion followed by protonation.
