Abstract

The electrogenerated base of 2-pyrrolidone reacts with amines and anilines yielding the corresponding alkyl and aryl carbamates, after addition of carbon dioxide and ethyl iodide. Arylcarbamic esters are obtained in very good yields under mild reaction conditions with respect to the methods so far reported.
