The catalytic potential of a large series of easily available metal carbamates (based on thirteen different non-precious metal elements) was explored for the first time in the coupling reaction between 2-aryl-aziridines and carbon dioxide, working under solventless and ambient conditions and using tetraalkylammonium halides as co-catalysts. The straightforward synthesis of novel [NbCl3(O2CNEt2)2],NbCl, and [NbBr3(O2CNEt2)2],NbBr, is reported. The niobium complexNbCl, in combination with NBu4I, emerged as the best catalyst of the overall series to convert aziridines with smallN-alkyl substituents into the corresponding 5-aryl-oxazolidin-2-ones.

Abstract

The catalytic potential of a large series of easily available metal carbamates (based on thirteen different non-precious metal elements) was explored for the first time in the coupling reaction between 2-aryl-aziridines and carbon dioxide, working under solventless and ambient conditions and using tetraalkylammonium halides as co-catalysts. The straightforward synthesis of novel [NbCl3(O2CNEt2)2],NbCl, and [NbBr3(O2CNEt2)2],NbBr, is reported. The niobium complexNbCl, in combination with NBu4I, emerged as the best catalyst of the overall series to convert aziridines with smallN-alkyl substituents into the corresponding 5-aryl-oxazolidin-2-ones.
