Magnesium-porphyrin as an efficient photocatalyst for the transformation of CO2 to cyclic carbonates and oxazolidinones under ambient conditions

Abstract

Herein, we report an efficient and simple photocatalytic system based on Mg-porphyrin for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates and oxazolidinones. As this reaction uses non-toxic, renewable, and widely available CO2, it promotes sustainability.
