A four-component coupling reaction of carbon dioxide, amines, cyclic ethers and 3-triflyloxybenzynes for the synthesis of functionalized carbamates. 
A novel four-component coupling reaction of carbon dioxide, amines, cyclic ethers and 3-triflyloxybenzynes has been developed for the first time, providing an efficient method for the synthesis of a series of functionalized carbamate derivatives in moderate to high yields.  The process proceeds under mild, transition metal-free and fluoride-free conditions, leading to the formation of two new C-O bonds, one new C-N bond and one C-H bond in a single step.
