Methyl carbamate

The Methyl carbamate, with the CAS registry number 598-55-0 and EINECS registry number 209-939-2, is also known as Methoxyformamide. And the molecular formula of this chemical is C₂H₅NO₂. It is a carbamate ester with th apperance of white adhering crystals. What's more, it is used by the textile industry to manufacture resins to be applied on polyester/cotton blend fabrics as durable-press finishes. And it is also used as intermediate in the pharmaceuticals and Pesticide industry. In addition, it is used as selective solvent for dutrex.

The physical properties of Methyl carbamate are as following: (1)ACD/LogP: -0.68; (2)# of Rule of 5 Violations: 0; (3)ACD/LogD (pH 5.5): -0.68; (4)ACD/LogD (pH 7.4): -0.68; (5)ACD/BCF (pH 5.5): 1; (6)ACD/BCF (pH 7.4): 1; (7)ACD/KOC (pH 5.5): 10.15; (8)ACD/KOC (pH 7.4): 10.15; (9)#H bond acceptors: 3; (10)#H bond donors: 2; (11)#Freely Rotating Bonds: 1; (12)Polar Surface Area: 29.54 Å²; (13)Index of Refraction: 1.399; (14)Molar Refractivity: 16.62 cm³; (15)Molar Volume: 68.7 cm³; (16)Polarizability: 6.59×10^-24cm³; (17)Surface Tension: 33.6 dyne/cm; (18)Density: 1.092 g/cm³; (19)Flash Point: 105.2 °C; (20)Enthalpy of Vaporization: 41.5 kJ/mol; (21)Boiling Point: 178.7 °C at 760 mmHg; (22)Vapour Pressure: 0.976 mmHg at 25°C.

Preparation of Methyl carbamate: Heat methyl alcohol to boil, and add urea with stirring. Reflux for 30 hours, and leach for 2 times with boiling sherwood oil. Collect the 175-177 °C distillates after fractionation, and the distillates are the desired product. The yield is about 75%.
1. ClCOOCH₃ + 2NH₃ → NH₂COOCH₃
2. NH₂CONH₂ + CH₃OH → NH₂COOCH₃ + NH₃
