The cycloaddition of CO 2 to N ‐alkyl aziridines was efficiently promoted by the convenient TPPH 2 /TBACl binary catalytic system. The metal‐free procedure was effective for the synthesis of differently substituted N ‐alkyl oxazolidin‐2‐ones in yields up to 100 % and excellent regioselectivities (up to 99 %). The mechanism of the reaction was proposed based on a DFT study which indicated the formation of an adduct between TPPH 2 and TBACl as the effective catalytic active species.
