The conversion of unactivated 2‐alkyl or 2‐aryl aziridines (I) and (IV) with CO2 (II) generates the corresponding oxazolidones (III) and (V) without the need of catalysis or solvent in high yields, especially when using high speed ball milling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
