Abstract

Abstract A practical method for the synthesis of carbamates from ureas and organic carbonates was developed with 100% atom economy using La2O3/SiO2 as catalyst without any additional solvent. The scope of the protocol is demonstrated in the synthesis of 14 carbamates with various functional groups in excellent yields (76–95%).
