The directed ortho-lithiation reactions of O-aryl N,N-dialkylcarbamates as well as O-1-naphthyl and O-2-naphthyl N,N-dialkylcarbamates with sec-butyllithium/tetramethylethylenediamine (sBuLi/TMEDA) followed by quenching with various electrophiles afford a range of polysubstituted aromatic compounds. If the solutions of the ortho-lithiated carbamates are warmed to room temperature without the addition of external electrophiles, salicylamide and 1- and 2-hydroxynaphthamide derivatives are formed through anionic ortho-Fries rearrangements. The relative stabilities and reactivities of different O-aryl N,N-dialkylcarbamates were investigated. The lateral metalation of 2-tolyl carbamates with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) provides a route to benzo[b]furan-2(3H)-ones. Previously reported results are used in a comparison of seven O-based directed metalation groups in reactions with several electrophiles. The described methodology is useful for the preparation of 1,2,3-substituted aromatic compounds.

The photochemical transformation of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET), one of the most widespread and efficient mosquito repellents, has been investigated. Initially, photoinduced DEET degradation was investigated in liquid samples, at 20 C and 0 C, and in ice (-15 C), aimed to simulate all possible photoinduced processes occurring in water and in cold environments. Under UV-illumination, DEET degradation was more efficient in ice than in water. The evaluation of transformation products (TPs) formed during the photolysis in solution and in ice evidences mostly the same degradation products, but with different concentration ratio and some peculiar differences. An hypothesis about what kind of processes may play a role is reported. In solution, the oxidative process mostly involved were (poly)hydroxylation or oxidation of the hydroxyl groups, while in ice N-dealkylation and monohydroxylation prevail. Finally, DEET and its TPs were searched out in snow and river water in wintertime.

Ortho-Lithiated O-aryl carbamates 3 constitute new synthetic intermediates which by treatment with a variety of electrophiles lead to ortho-substituted carbamates 4 and by rearrangement provide salicylamides 6.
