METHOD FOR PRODUCING CARBAMATE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method that can produce carbamate with high yield and high selectivity, and excellent economical efficiency, using more different kinds of amines. SOLUTION: A method for producing carbamate has a reaction step where, in the presence of calcium carbide and potassium carbonate, a reaction is induced among amine, methanol, and carbon dioxide. The reaction step is preferably performed at a temperature of 165-180°C. The reaction step is preferably performed at a carbon dioxide pressure of 3-5 MPa. The reaction step is preferably performed using an acetonitrile solvent. SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 COPYRIGHT: (C)2021,JPOandINPIT

Photocatalytic Oxidative Iodination of Electron-Rich Arenes

A visible-light-mediated oxidative iodination of electron-rich arenes has been developed. 2.5 mol% of unsubstituted anthraquinone as photocatalyst were used in combination with elementary iodine, trifluoroacetic acid and oxygen as the terminal oxidant. The iodination proceeds upon irradiation in non- or weakly-electron donating solvents (DCM, DCE and benzene) wherein a spectral window in strongly coloured iodine solutions can be observed at around 400 nm. The method provides good to excellent yields (up to 98%) and shows excellent regioselectivity and good functional group tolerance (triple bonds, ketone, ester, amide). Moreover, the photo-iodination was also upscaled to a 5 mmol scale (1.1 g). Mechanistic investigations by intermediate trapping and competition experiments indicate a photocatalytic arene oxidation and the subsequent reaction with iodine as a likely mechanistic pathway. (Figure presented.).

Direct Catalytic Synthesis of N-Arylcarbamates from CO2, Anilines and Alcohols

The direct catalytic synthesis of carbamates from CO2, amines and methanol was achieved by controlling both the reaction equilibrium and the reactivity of the three components. The combination of CeO2 and 2-cyanopyridine was an effective catalyst, providing various carbamates including N-arylcarbamates in high selectivities.

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.
