Dimethyl toluene-2,4-dicarbamate (2,4-TDC) was selected as a model compound for aromatic polyurethane to investigate the photo-chemical behavior of commercial TiO2 pigments in non-aqueous solution. The UV-Visible spectrometry analysis results showed that the UV-shielding ability of the rutile TiO2 pigment was better than that of the anatase TiO2 pigment. Photodegradation experiments suggested that the photodegradation of 2,4-TDC was retarded by rutile TiO2 pigment, while accelerated by anatase TiO2 pigment. With the help of the degradation intermediates during the photodegradation process and calculated data, such as point charges and bond length, the preliminary photodegradation mechanism of 2,4-TDC was also briefly elucidated, including the addition of hydroxyl radicals and the cleavage of the carbamate side chain. Additionally, the photodegradation of 2,4-TDC was used to evaluate the photoreactivity of TiO2 pigments, this is proved to an efficient approach with potential application in industry.

We have successfully isolated and characterized the zinc carbamate complex (phen)Zn(OAc)(OC(=O)NHPh) (1; phen=1,10-phenanthroline), formed as an intermediate during the Zn(OAc)2/phen-catalyzed synthesis of organic carbamates from CO2, amines, and the reusable reactant Si(OMe)4. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the direct reaction of 1 with Si(OMe)4 proceeds via a five-coordinate silicon intermediate, forming organic carbamates. Based on these results, the catalytic system was improved by using Si(OMe)4 as the reaction solvent and additives like KOMe and KF, which promote the formation of the five-coordinated silicon species. This sustainable and effective method can be used to synthesize various N-aryl and N-alkyl carbamates, including industrially important polyurethane raw materials, starting from CO2 under atmospheric pressure.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a nontoxic and inexpensive C1 building block, which can be used for the synthesis of valuable chemicals such as aromatic carbamates from anilines and methanol (MeOH), glycerol carbonate from glycerol, and cyclic carbonates from diols. However, these reactions generate water as the byproduct and suffer from thermodynamic limits, which lead to low yields. Calcium carbide (CaC2) is a renewable chemical, which can be recycled from calcium that is abundant in the Earth's crust. Furthermore, CaC2 rapidly reacts with water. In this work, we used CaC2 as a dehydrating agent for the direct synthesis of carbamates (including polyurethane precursors) from amines, CO2, and MeOH. All reagents were commercially available. In addition, CaC2 was employed for the synthesis of glycerol carbonate from glycerol and CO2 with a zinc catalyst and N-donor ligand. A similar protocol was applied to synthesize cyclic carbonates from diols and CO2.
