Abstract

Interestingly, the electrochemical oxidation of carbamates 5 bearing a secondary alkyl group in methanol containing tetraethylammonium p-toluenesulfonate (TEATS) as a supporting electrolyte gave directly dimethyl ketals 6 in good yields (Scheme 11). Although there is no concrete evidence to support the intervention of a-methoxylated carbamates 7, the dimethyl ketals 6 were probably formed by methanolysis of the a-methoxy carbamates 7 catalyzed ...
