ChemInform Abstract: The Solvent‐Free and Catalyst‐Free Conversion of an Aziridine to an Oxazolidinone Using Only Carbon Dioxide.

Abstract

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.
