About this document
Heterogeneous Catalysis for 2-Oxazolidinones by JC Jane Barnes is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes the heterogeneous base catalyzed synthesis of 2-oxazolidinones and 2-imidiazolidinones from ethylene carbonate and β-aminoalcohols or 1,2-diamines. Several metal oxide catalysts were screened and MgO was found to be the most effective catalyst, giving an excellent yield of 83% within 6 hours at 80°C. The basic properties of the catalysts were analyzed using temperature programmed desorption of CO2, and MgO was shown to have moderately strong basic sites in the low temperature region r
