Abstract

Mesoporous zirconium phosphonates were demonstrated as highly effective catalysts for the heterogeneously catalyzed cycloaddition reaction between aziridines and CO₂ to yield oxazolidinones in a solvent-free system without introducing any co-catalysts or halogen species, exhibiting outstanding activity and selectivity, as well as excellent recyclability.
