A method for the synthesis of 2-oxazolidinones and 2-imidazolidinones from five-membered cyclic carbonates and β-aminoalcohols or 1,2-diamines

Abstract

The first, highly efficient synthesis of 2-oxazolidinones from five-membered cyclic carbonates and β-aminoalcohols or 1,2-diamines, which gave excellent yields, are described. The effects of temperature, reaction time, solvent and the amount of catalyst were investigated.
