1. General information

1H and 13C spectra were recorded on a Bruker ALS-300 or a Bruker ALS-400 spectrometers. The NMR chemical shifts are reported as δ in parts per million (ppm) relative to the traces of non-deuterated solvent (eg δ = 2.50 ppm for d6-DMSO or δ = 7.26 ppm for CDCl3). Data are reported as follows: chemical shift, multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, m = multiplet, br = broad), coupling constants (J) given in Hertz (Hz), integration and attribution. Low-resolution gas chromatography coupled with a mass spectrometry detector (GC-MS) was performed using a Shimadzu GCMS-QP2010S apparatus using a ZB5-HT column and helium as carrier gas. The quantitative GC-MS analyses were performed using an internal standard (diphenyl ether) and calibration charts. Flash column chromatographies were performed using normal phase silica gel (60 Å, particle size 40-63 μm) and monitored with thin-layer chromatographies using TLC plates GF254 purchased from Merck (0.25 mm). All the catalysts and IPDA were used as received. The thioureas were synthesized according to the reported literature procedure.1 Propylene carbonate (PC) was purified by distillation. 4-(methoxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-one, 4,6-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-one and 4-phenyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-one were synthesized according to the reported literature procedure.2,3
