An efficient and environmentally benign method for the synthesis of organic carbamates was developed. Amines, CO2, and alkyl halides underwent a three-component reaction with the aid of K2CO3 and polyethylene glycol (PEG, MW=400), affording the organic carbamates under ambient conditions. PEG could presumably act as a solvent and phase-transfer catalyst (PTC). Notably, the presence of PEG could also depress the alkylation of both the amine and the carbamate, thus resulting in enhanced selectivity toward the target carbamate.

Several carbamate esters were synthesized from amines, carbon dioxide, and alkyl chlorides.The effect of added base on the yield and selectivity of carbamate ester formation was found to be highly important with the use of sterically hindered guanidine bases giving the best results.Relative rate studies were carried out giving the following order of reactivity between carbamate anions in acetonitrile with benzyl chloride giving carbamate esters: Et2NCO2(-) = Bu2NCO2(-) > t-BuNHCO2(-) = CyNHCO2(-) = s-BuNHCO2(-) > PhNHCO2(-) > CyCH2NHCO2(-) = n-octylNHCO2(-) = n-BuNHCO2(-).Rate studies were carried out with the diethyl, s-butyl, phenyl, and n-butyl carbamates and activation parameters were determined to be Et2NCO2(-), ΔH(excit.) = 11.8 kcal/mol, ΔS(excit.) = -33 eu; s-BuNHCO2(-), ΔH(excit.) = 12.8 kcal/mol, ΔS(excit.) = -33 eu; PhNHCO2(-), ΔH(excit.) = 14.3 kcal/mol, ΔS(excit.) = -28 eu; n-BuNHCO2(-), ΔH(excit.) = 23.4 kcal/mol, ΔS(excit.) = -3 eu.The unusual results obtained from the use of n-BuNHCO2(-) prompted further studies which showed that the rate of the reaction was inversely dependent on carbon dioxide pressure (20 psig CO2, k = 4.84E-4 M-1 s-1; 120 psig CO2, k = 1.83E-4 M-1 s-1).Nitrogen NMR spectroscopy indicated, via a labeling study with 15N amines and 13C enriched carbon dioxide, the formation of doubly inserted product from the addition of two carbon dioxides to ethylamine in acetonitrile.

Generation of carbamate anions from either a primary or secondary amine, carbon dioxide and a stoichiometric amount of a pentaalkylguanidine followed by the addition of alkyl chlorides gives high yields of urethanes.
