Conversion of carbonimidodithioates to carbamates

Carbonimidodithioates derived from primary amines or α-amino acid esters have been converted to N-benzyloxycarbonyl derivatives under mild conditions by treatment first with sodium benzyl alcoholate and then with water. N-Benzyloxycarbonyl α-amino acids have been generated from the methyl esters by alkaline hydrolysis or from the allyl esters by Pd0-catalysed de-allylation.

THE HOFMANN REARRANGEMENT INDUCED BY ELECTROORGANIC METHOD

The Hofmann rearrangement has been induced by the electroorganic method using potassium bromide as a mediator, of which role in the reaction is really catalytic.
