A catalytic amount of a nitrogen bicyclic base, ie, DABCO, DBU or TBD, is effective for the
one-pot synthesis of heterocycles from 1, 4-, 1, 5-diols and 1, 4-bifunctional compounds via …

Aliphatic and aromatic 1, 4-bifunctional compounds bearing a primary alcoholic function and
an amine can be efficiently cyclised with dimethyl carbonates in the presence of a base to …

Abstract The reaction of 1, 4‐diols with dimethyl carbonate in the presence of a base led to
selective and high‐yielding syntheses of related five‐membered cyclic ethers. This synthetic …

This review focuses on the use of dialkyl carbonates (DACs) as green reagents and solvents
for the synthesis of several 5-and 6-membered heterocycles including: tetrahydrofuran and …

An efficient, high-yielding sustainable route to cyclic anhydrides from biorenewable and
inexpensive dicarboxylic acids has been developed. Cyclic anhydrides were synthesized …

We report herein a straightforward general method for the synthesis of cyclic carbamates
from amino alcohols and carbon dioxide in the presence of an external base and a hydroxyl …

In the last twenty years DMC has been employed as an efficient methylating and
methoxycarbonylating agent with several monodentate and bidentate nucleophiles, showing …

Carbon dioxide is a cheap, abundant and renewable C 1 feedstock. Methodology study on
the transformation of carbon dioxide into highly value-added chemicals has become one of …

As a well-known greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) has attracted increasing levels of
attention in areas of energy, environment, climate, etc. Notably, CO2 is an abundant …

We report a new one-pot synthetic route to tetrahydrofuran derivatives, which were
unexpectedly produced under basic conditions by intramolecular etherification of substituted …
