The multicomponent assembly of pharmaceutically relevant N-aryl-oxazolidinones through the direct insertion of carbon dioxide into readily available anilines and dibromoalkanes is described. The addition of catalytic amounts of an organosuperbase such as Barton's base enables this transformation to proceed with high yields and exquisite substrate functional-group tolerance under ambient CO2pressure and mild temperature. This report also provides the first proof-of-principle for the single-operation synthesis of elusive seven-membered ring cyclic urethanes.
