Abstract: Employing palladium supported on polymeric monolith containing ionic liquid as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst, the oxidative carbonylation of 2-amino-1-alkanols could be successfully carried out, affording the corresponding 2-oxazolidinones in good to excellent yields in pure water without excessive iodine-containing promoter. The catalyst was reused up to five cycles without significant loss of its catalytic activity.
