Article Abstract
CeO acted as an effective and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the direct synthesis of 2-imidazolidinone from ethylenediamine carbamate (EDA-CA) without further addition of CO in the reaction system. 2-Propanol was the best solvent among the solvents tested from the viewpoint of selectivity to 2-imidazolidinone, and the use of an adequate amount of 2-propanol provided high conversion and selectivity for the reaction. This positive effect of 2-propanol on the catalytic reaction can be explained by the solubility of EDA-CA in 2-propanol under the reaction conditions and no formation of solvent-derived byproducts. This catalytic system using the combination of the CeO catalyst and the 2-propanol solvent provided 2-imidazolidinone in up to 83% yield on the EDA-CA basis at 413 K under Ar. The reaction conducted under Ar showed a higher reaction rate than that with pressured CO, which clearly demonstrated the advantage of the catalytic system operated at low CO pressure or even without CO.

Herein, a series of manganese oxide catalysts with different valences (MnO, MnO, and MnO) were designed and synthesized for the synthesis of ethylene urea (EU) from ethylenediamine (EDA) and carbon dioxide (CO). With a maximal EDA conversion of 82 % and EU selectivity of 99 % at 160 °C for 2 h, MnO catalysts had the best catalytic activity among them, which was superior to the reported catalysts. In the following order: MnO > MnO > MnO, the catalytic activity for the synthesis of EU from CO and EDA decreased.

The presented work discusses the highly efficient esterification of poly (γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA) with alkyl halides at room temperature. The esterification reaction was completed within 3 h, and the prepared γ-PGA esters were obtained with excellent yields (98.6%) when 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG) was used as a promoter.

Article Synopsis
- Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is preferred over chenodeoxycholic acid for treating liver diseases and shows promise for Acute Kidney Injury and Parkinson's Disease; the study aims to enhance the production of UDCA from 7-ketocholic acid using specific solvents.
- Three aprotic solvents were tested to optimize the electrochemical reduction process, where 1,3-Dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (DMI) proved stable and effective, while Hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) and DMPU had potential side reactions.
- Results indicated that using a Cu electrode with a mix of DMI and HMPA allowed for a 98% conversion rate of

While the N-trifluoromethylation of cyclic ureas is of interest for the potential to fundamentally change the properties of these biologically relevant moieties, the single synthetic procedure known to date describing their access only gives 4,4-disubstituted or fused aromatic cyclic N-CF urea derivatives. We herein report an alternative approach to unleash access to the 4-monosubstituted imidazolidinone motif. The strategy relies on straightforward cyclization of readily accessible acyclic ureas, enabled by Ag-catalysis or light-assisted proton coupled electron transfer.
