The conversion of an unactivated 2-alkylaziridine to the corresponding oxazolidinone generally requires a very high pressure of carbon dioxide, a high temperature, an expensive catalyst, and/or a long reaction time. Here, a new, high yield (over 95%), and highly regioselective (over 95%) conversion
