Conversion of Propargylic Amines with CO Catalyzed by a Highly Stable Copper(I) Iodide Thorium-Based Heterometal-Organic Framework.

The conversion of CO to generate high-value-added chemicals has become one of the hot research topics in green synthesis. Thereinto, the cyclization reaction of propargylic amines with CO is highly attractive because the resultant oxazolidinones are widely found in pharmaceutical chemistry. Cu(I)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as catalysts exhibit promising application prospects for CO conversion.
