Abstract

... The Journal of Organic ... J. Org. ... DCC reacts with aliphatic alcohols to produce O-alkyl isoureas according to eq 2. The latter is a quite effective agent for the conversion of organic acids into the relevant alkylesters 17 at room temperature and of phenols into their ethers at380 K ...
