title: Palladium-catalyzed insertion of CO2 into vinylaziridines: new route to 5-vinyloxazolidinones.
abstract: 2-Vinylaziridines undergo a mild Pd-catalyzed ring-opening cyclization reaction with an ambient atmosphere of carbon dioxide to give 5-vinyloxazolidinones. The process is high yielding as well as regio- and stereoselective.
