Dimethylammonium Dimethylcarbamate - A Useful Reagent for the Willgerodt-Kindler Reaction
Dimethylammonium dimethylcarbamate (dimcarb), easily accessible from dimethylamine and carbon dioxide, is a useful reagent for the Willgerodt-Kindler synthesis of N,N-dimethylthiocarboxamides.Moreover, dimcarb displays some unusual properties, and generally behaves as a preparatively useful dimethylamine source.
