4-Propylcatechol carbonate is a shelf-stable, renewable C1 reactant. It is easily prepared from renewable 4-propylcatechol (derived from wood) and dimethyl carbonate (derived from CO2) using a reactive distillation system. In this work, the 4-propylcatechol carbonate is used for the two-step synthesis of carbamates under mild reaction conditions. In the first step, 4-propylcatechol carbonate is treated with an alcohol at 50–80 °C in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, such as Zn(OAc)2?2 H2O. With liquid alcohols, no solvent is used and with solid alcohols 2-methyltetrahydrofuran is used as solvent. In the second step, the alkyl 2-hydroxy-propylphenyl carbonate intermediates obtained react with amines at room temperature in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, forming the target carbamates and the byproduct 4-propylcatechol, which can be recycled into a carbonate reactant.

An efficient, solvent-free protocol for the N-fluorenylmethoxycarbonylation and N-benzyloxycarbonylation of amines is described. The reaction of aliphatic and aromatic amines with FmocOSu and Cbz-Osu in [Bmim][BF4] at room temperature afforded the corresponding N-urethane derivatives in excellent yields and do not require any further purification. The method has been extended to the N-Fmoc and N-Cbz protection of amino acids. Absence of bases, very short reaction times, high yields, selectivity and ease of product separation are some advantages of this protocol.

A kinetic study is reported for nucleophilic substitution reactions of benzyl 4-pyridyl carbonate 6 with a series of alicyclic secondary amines in MeCN. The plot of pseudo-first-order rate constant (kobsd) vs. [amine] curves upward, which is typical for reactions reported previously to proceed through a stepwise mechanism with two intermediates (i.e., a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate T± and its deprotonated form T-). Dissection of kobsd into the second-and third-order rate constants (i.e., Kk2 and Kk3, respectively) reveals that Kk3 is significantly larger than Kk2, indicating that the reactions proceed mainly through the deprotonation pathway (i.e., the k3 process) in a high [amine] region. This contrasts to the recent report that the corresponding aminolysis of benzyl 2-pyridyl carbonate 5 proceeds through a forced concerted mechanism. An intramolecular H-bonding interaction was suggested to force the reactions of 5 to proceed through a concerted mechanism, since it could accelerate the rate of leaving-group expulsion (i.e., an increase in k2). However, such H-bonding interaction, which could increase k2, is structurally impossible for the reactions of 6. Thus, presence or absence of an intramolecular H-bonding interaction has been suggested to be responsible for the contrasting reaction mechanisms (i.e., a forced concerted mechanism for the reaction of 5 vs. a stepwise mechanism with T± and T-as intermediates for that of 6).
