Abstract

An efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of carbamates from the corresponding amides via the Hofmann rearrangement using N, N-dibromo-p- toluenesulfonamide (TsNBr2) in the presence of DBU in methanol. The reaction goes into completion in 10–20min at 65° C to produce the corresponding carbamate in excellent yield.
