A catalytic amount of tetraphenylstibonium iodide ( 1 ) promoted unusual cycloadditions of oxiranes with isocyanates or carbodiimides, forming 3,4‐disubstituted oxazolidin‐2‐ones 2 and oxazolidin‐2‐imines 4 under very mild conditions, respectively. In particular, carbodiimides gave 4 exclusively. Either oxazolidine, 3,4‐disubstituted or 3,5‐disubstituted ones could be obtained independently from the same reactants by the compensatable use of 1 and organotin iodide‐Lewis base complexes as catalysts.
