Abstract

In this review, we try to provide a comprehensive and updated overview of recent developments in the synthesis of various 2-oxazolidinones through dehydrative condensation of easily available β-amino alcohols with carbon dioxide with special emphasis on the mechanistic aspects of the reactions. Literature has been surveyed until the end of 2017.
