Abstract

Abstract A facile synthesis of methyl carbamates from primary amines and dimethyl carbonate has been achieved at room temperature using high pressure. High-pressure synthesis of methyl carbamates described herein provides access to the target molecules in an efficient and environmentally friendly way without solvent or catalyst. Better conversion and selectivity than previously published procedures were obtained.
