CO2-transformations into high value-added products have become a fascinating area in green chemistry. Herein, a Ru(III)-porphyrin catalyst (RuCl3 ? 3H2O?H2TPP) was found highly efficient in the three-component reaction of CO2, aliphatic amines and dichloroethane (or its derivative) for synthesis of oxazolidinones in the yields of 71~91%. It was indicated by means of the control experiments and UV-vis spectra that CO2 was stoichiometrically activated by the involved aliphatic amine substrates to form a stable carbamate salt while 1,2-dichloroethane (or its derivative) was independently activated by the involved Ru(III)-porphyrin catalyst. The combination of CO2-activation by aliphatic amines with 1,2-dichloroethane activation by Ru(III)-porphyrin catalyst cooperatively contributed to this successful transformation.

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.
