Abstract
Several research studies have been conducted on N-formylation of amines using phenylsilane and CO2. However, most of these studies involved tedious processes of catalyst preparation or complex procedures. In the present study, we describe the use of a simple and commercially available ZnO catalyst for selective N-formylation of amines under mild condition. High-yielding N-formylation products with good recyclability and wide substrate scope were obtained, which can promote fine chemical synthesis and CO2 capture.
