Cs2CO3 or CaO as promoters of ethyl N-{[(4-methylphenyl)sulphonyl]oxy}carbamate in amination reactions

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4020(01)89425-4

Replacing triethylamine by heterogeneous inorganic bases makes it possible to aminate benzene or other nitrene acceptors, using the title reagent, previously reported to be scarcely reactive. Products of C-H insertion and/or those coming from intermediate aziridines are also obtained.
