Congrats to Yu Lan et al. for the latest publication in Org. Chem. Front. We report a novel strategy for the synthesis of chiral 2-oxazolidinones via a dinuclear copper-catalyzed asymmetric propargylic amination–carboxylative cyclization sequence of propargylic esters with nucleo-philic alkyl amines under ambient pressure of carbon dioxide.
