Abstract
Summary of main observation and conclusionConverting CO2 into value‐added chemicals represents a promising way to alleviate the CO2 derived environmental issues, for which the development of catalysts with high efficiency and recyclability is very desirable. Herein, the catalytic system by combining cobalt source and ionic liquid (IL) has been developed as the efficacious and recyclable catalyst for the carboxylative cyclization of propargylic amine and CO2 to prepare 2‐oxazolinones. In this protocol, various propargylic amines were successfully transformed into the corresponding 2‐oxazolinones with CoBr2 and diethylimidazolium acetate ([EEIM][OAc]) as the catalyst under atmospheric CO2 pressure. It is worth noting that the turnover number (TON) of this transformation can be up to 1740, presumably being attributed to the cooperative effect of the cobalt and IL. Furthermore, the existence of IL enables the catalytic system to be easily recycled to 10 times without losing its activity.
