2-(2-Oxoalkylidene)-1,3-oxazolidine derivatives were synthesized in good to excellent yields regiospecifically through the catalyst-free electrophilic ring expansion of N-unprotected aziridines and the ketene C=O double bond of α-oxoketenes, in situ generated from the microwave-assisted Wolff rearrangement of 2-diazo-1,3-diketones. The ring expansion predominantly underwent an SN1 process and the hydrogen bond decides the (E)-configuration of products. (Figure presented.).
