Methoxyisocyanate (1) can be prepared by photolysis of methyl azidoformate (3) or pyrolysis of N-methoxycarbonyl-O-methylhydroxylamine (4).Aminoisocyanate (2) is similarly formed on photolysis of carbamoyl azide (12) and pyrolysis of either methyl carbazate (13) or 3,4-diaminofurazan (14).The infrared spectra of 1 and 2 in an argon matrix at 10 K have been measured, and some of their properties are discussed. - Keywords: Flash pyrolysis/ Matrix IR spectroscopy/ Photolysis

Preparation of 2-phenylsemicarbazides
2-Phenylsemicarbazides are prepared by a multi-step process involving: (a) treating a phenylhydrazine, or salt thereof, with a chloroformate; (b) adding phosgene; (c) treating the resulting product with an amine; and (d) hydrolyzing the resulting acylated semicarbazide. The reaction can proceed through a Δ2 -1,3,4-oxadiazolin-5-one intermediate formed with heating in step (b). Certain of the products are novel compounds.
