Interaction of dimethyl carbonate with anilines in the presence of potassium methylate: Kinetics and the role of the base

The kinetic patterns of the reaction between dimethyl carbonate and anilines in the presence of a potassium methylate as a catalyst were studied. The mechanism of aminolysis was clarified, which includes the detachment of the proton from the amino group of aniline and the subsequent attack of the resulting anion on the carbonyl group of dimethyl carbonate. It is shown that when the reaction occurs in the dimethyl carbonate-methanol 3:1 system, the process can be described as an irreversible first-order reaction in the aniline though the target reaction is complicated by side interaction between potassium methylate and dimethyl carbonate. The rate constants of the target reaction with substituted anilines and of the side reaction in the temperature range of 70-90°C were determined. It is shown that the influence of the substituent on the reaction rate is described by the Hammett equation, with the constant of the reaction series being positive and the best correlation being achieved for ??-scale. The results obtained are consistent with the proposed mechanism of the reaction and are explained by the facilitation of the aniline deprotonation with increasing acceptor properties of the substituent. Effective activation energies for the reaction of various anilines with dimethyl carbonate are found.

Atomically Dispersed Copper on N-Doped Carbon Nanosheets for Electrocatalytic Synthesis of Carbamates from CO2 as a C1 Source

The synthesis of carbamates by electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 is an effective method to realize the utilization of CO2 resources. The development of high-performance electrocatalysts to complete this process more efficiently is of great significance to sustainable development. Owing to their unique structural characteristics, single-atom catalysts are expected to promote the reaction process more efficiently. In this study, an atomically dispersed Cu species on N-doped carbon nanosheet composite material (Cu?N?C) was prepared by metal-organic framework derivatization. Compared with traditional Cu bulk electrodes, the Cu?N?C material has better catalytic performance for the synthesis of methyl N-phenylcarbamate; and the optimized yield reached 71 % at room temperature and normal pressure. The Cu?N?C material has good stability that the catalytic performance does not decrease after repeated use for 10 times. In addition, the Cu?N?C material has good applicability to this catalytic system, and a variety of amines can be smoothly converted into corresponding carbamates.

Preparation of a novel bromine complex and its application in organic synthesis

Although molecular bromine (Br2) is a useful brominating reagent, it is not easy to handle. Herein, we describe the preparation of a novel air-stable bromine complex prepared from 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (DMI) and Br2, which was identified to be (DMI)2HBr3 by spectral and X-ray techniques. This complex was then used to brominate olefins, carbonyl compounds, and aromatics, as well as in the Hofmann rearrangement. Yields of reaction products using this complex were almost the same or superior to those using other bromine alternatives.

Electrochemical Hofmann rearrangement mediated by NaBr: Practical access to bioactive carbamates

An electrochemical Hofmann rearrangement is reported. With the mediation of NaBr, highly corrosive and toxic halogens are avoided. Moreover, this efficient and green approach is well compatible with a broad range of amides, including several commercial medicine derivatives, and provides direct access to synthetically useful carbamates. The synthetic utility of this method is also demonstrated by the preparation of 15N labeling carbamate and gram-scale synthesis of Amantadine.

Phosgene-free synthesis of carbamates using co2 and titanium alkoxides

A facile one-pot, phosgene-free method for the synthesis of N-phenylcarbamates is developed. Using this method, various aromatic carbamates could be prepared from aromatic amines, CO2 and metal alkoxides. Aniline reacted with titanium methoxide (Ti(OMe)4)) in the presence of CO2 (5 MPa) to give methyl N-phenylcarbamate in 85% yield, in 20min. Titanium residue could be regenerated by reaction with dimethyl carbonate at 220 °C for 16 h.

Synthesis of carbamates from carbon dioxide promoted by organostannanes and alkoxysilanes

A cooperative methoxy transfer between orthosilicate esters and organotin oxides was developed for the synthesis of various N-alkyl and N-aryl carbamates from carbon dioxide in up to 97% isolated yield. The reaction is highly selective and N-alkylated amines are not observed. Density functional theory calculations of the reaction were performed and, together with NMR observations, a plausible mechanism featuring the catalytic regeneration of dialkyltin dialkoxide is proposed.

(Tosylimino)phenyl-λ3-iodane as a reagent for the synthesis of methyl carbamates via hofmann rearrangement of aromatic and aliphatic carboxamides

A new, mild procedure for the Hofmann rearrangement of aromatic and aliphatic carboxamides using (tosylimino)phenyl-λ3-iodane, PhINTs, as a reagent is reported. Because of the mild reaction conditions, this method is particularly useful for the Hofmann rearrangement of substituted benzamides, which usually afford complex reaction mixtures with other hypervalent iodine oxidants. The mild reaction conditions and high selectivity in the reaction of carboxamides with PhINTs allow the isolation of the initially formed labile isocyanates or their subsequent conversion to stable carbamates by treatment with alcohols.

Synthesis of functionalized carbamates through a palladium-catalyzed reductive carbonylation of substituted nitrobenzenes

The palladium-catalyzed reductive carbonylation of ortho and para-substituted nitrobenzenes has proven to be an attractive route for the synthesis of functionalized carbamates. For the Pd(1,10-phenanthroline)2(triilate}2 catalyst system, the scope of the reaction has been studied. Substrates with electron-donating substituents at the para position were found to decrease the catalytic activity, most probably as a result of their relatively low oxidizing capacity. The selectivity towards the desired carbamate, however, was increased for these substrates. Under the influence of electron-withdrawing substituents the azoxybenzene and azobenzene derivatives became important side products. Introduction of large steric hindrance at the ortho position of the nitro substrates gave rise to an interesting side reaction, viz. methoxylation of the aromatic ring. The methoxylation reaction appeared to occur on an intermediate species in the catalytic cycle. Several functionalities have shown to be resistant to the reaction conditions required for the conversion of the nitro group. Especially with 4-nitrobenzoic acid, an extremely high activity and selectivity was found, thus yielding a very convenient synthesis for N-protected amines containing carboxylic acid functions.

Preparation of methyl carbamates via a modified Hofmann rearrangement

Treatment of a series of para-substituted aromatic and primary aliphatic carboxamides with NBS and NaOMe in methanol heated to reflux for ten minutes results in the conversion of the carboxamides to their corresponding primary amino methyl carbamates in nearly quantitative yields. The mild oxidative conditions of this modified Hofmann rearrangement are shown to be particularly useful for the preparation of p-substituted anilines.
