Description
Summary:A simple and quick setup for the synthesis of PCN-222 and of a variety of metalated PCN-222­(Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn), using of a microwave reactor, is reported for CO2 fixation. Metalation of prophyrins by microwave heating has been evaluated through UV–vis titration. PCN-222­(M) were obtained in a three-step, one-pot reaction in a remarkable 72% yield in only 30 min. The materials have been characterized using a variety of techniques. A study of CO2 fixation through cycloaddition with epoxides and azidirines using metalated PCNs as catalysts is described. Cyclic carbonates and oxazolidinones were formed using CO2 at atmospheric pressure under mild conditions. Higher activity was observed when PCN-222­(Co) was used compared to that with PCN-222­(Ni, Cu, Zn).
