The efficient utilization of carbon dioxide (CO₂) as a C1-building block in organic synthesis has attracted considerable attention in view of sustainable chemistry and green chemistry concepts. Recently, three-component reaction of amines, epoxides, and carbon dioxide has emerged as a powerful strategy for the synthesis of biologically important organic carbamates. In this review, we try to provide a comprehensive and updated overview of recent developments in this interesting research arena with special emphasis on the mechanistic aspects of the reactions. The review is divided into two major sections. The first section focuses exclusively on synthesis of acyclic carbonates, while the second covers construction of cyclic carbamates.

鉴于可持续化学和绿色化学概念，在有机合成中有效利用二氧化碳（CO ₂）作为C1的基础材料已引起了相当大的关注。最近，胺，环氧化物和二氧化碳的三组分反应已成为合成生物学上重要的有机氨基甲酸酯的有力策略。在这篇综述中，我们尝试提供一个有趣的研究领域的最新进展的全面和更新的概述，特别着重于反应的机理方面。审查分为两个主要部分。第一部分专门讨论无环碳酸酯的合成，而第二部分则涉及环状氨基甲酸酯的结构。
