IVheii urea is heated at 1S0-2OO0 thc chief products are isocyanic acid and ammonia. Normally, the reaction between urea and primary alcohols under these conditions, which were those used in this study, results in the formation of urethansj (equations 1 and 2). It has been assumed then that this is the initial reaction between the 3-aryloxy-1, 2-propanediol (11) and urea and that the originally desired carbamate I is formed as an intermediate. ...
