Abstract

Abstract Amines which contain a second functional group in the appropriate position react with carbon monoxide in the presence of selenium to form heterocyclic derivatives in which carbon monoxide is incoporated. For instance, diamines, aminoalcohols, and their related compounds undergo carbonylation to give cyclic ureas, urethanes and the corresponding carbonylated compounds. For diamines and amino alcohols with more than two carbon ...
