Successful conditions for the transcarbamylation/transesterification reaction of sulfonylcarbamates with alcohols by microwave heating under continuous-flow conditions were developed. After optimization of the processes, two series of O-alkylsulfonylcarbamates were obtained in high yields and purities using microwave transparent borosilicate tube reactors. In order to also illustrate the usefulness of the protocol in a medicinal chemistry context, the methodology was used for the synthesis of three angiotensin II type 2 receptor ligands.
