Abstract

Abstract Methyl N-phenylcarbamate was prepared by reductive carbonylation of nitrobenzene in the presence of methanol and a new catalytic system composed of sulfur, vanadium pentoxide and a base-alkoxides of alkali metals or hydroxides of alkali metals or alkali earths-in good yields. Reaction mechanism of this process is discussed. Diphenylmethane dicarbamates were obtained by acid-catalyzed condensation of methyl ...
