Abstract 4-Hydroxymethyl 2-oxazolidinones have been successfully synthesized under mild conditions by the intramolecular cyclization of glycidyl carbamate derivatives with a bicyclic guanidine as the efficient catalyst. This reaction system, which is also applicable to the multifunctional compounds, can provide bi- and tri-functional alcohols having oxazolidinone moieties.
