Abstract

Abstract An efficient and environmentally benign method for the synthesis of organic carbamates was developed. Amines, CO2, and alkyl halides underwent a three-component reaction with the aid of K2CO3 and polyethylene glycol (PEG, MW= 400), affording the organic carbamates under ambient conditions. PEG could presumably act as a solvent and phase-transfer catalyst (PTC). Notably, the presence of PEG could also depress the ...
