BBr3, CH2CI2, -10°, 1 h -> 25°, 2 h, 80-100% yield. Benzyl carbamates of larger peptides can be cleaved by boron tribromide in trifluoro-acetic acid, since the peptides are more soluble in acid than in methylene chloride. ... 

Reaction of methyl a-L-rhamnopyranoside with triphenylboroxole gave a syrupy boronate ester which was characterized as a crystalline phenyl-carbamate. Removal of the phenylboronic acid residue gave a product identified as methyl a-L-rhamnopyranoside 4-N-phenylcarbamate, since it was identical with that resulting from removal of the ketal group from methyl 2,3-O-isopr opylidene-a-L-rhamnopyranoside 4-N-phenylcarbamate (12). This establishes the structure of the original ester as methyl a-L-rhamnopyranoside 2,3-phenylboronate (24). 

C-nucleophile (X = active H-borate, boronate) N-nucleophile (amine, NaN3, tosyl amide, amide, lactam, imine, carbamate, urea) O-nucleophile (alcohol, acid, carbonate) S-nucleophile (PhS02Na)... 

The weak nucleophilic nature of polynitroaliphatic alcohols is also reflected in their slow reactions with isocyanates to yield carbamates. These reactions often need the presence of Lewis acids like ferric acetylacetonate or boron trifluoride etherate. The reaction of bifunctional isocyanates with polynitroaliphatic diols has been used to synthesize energetic polymers.33°... 

Diones are normally synthesized from /3-hydroxy acids in two steps first, conversion into carbamates by reaction with sodium cyanate, and then cyclization with thionyl chloride (Scheme 103) (54JCS839). Alternative preparations utilize oxetanes, which may be combined either with isocyanates in the presence of boron trifluoride (68JAP6808278) or with S-alkylthioureas (Scheme 104) (69ZOR1844). In the last example the initial products are imines (224) which may readily be hydrolyzed to the required diones. Similar methods can be applied to the synthesis of tetrahydro-l,3-thiazine-2,4-diones, and, for instance, the 4-oxo-2-thioxo derivative (225) is obtained from /3-propiolactone and dithiocarbamic acid (Scheme 105) (48JA1001). 

The Stille coupling is closely related to the Suzuki coupling. The only difference is that a stannane is used instead of a boronic acid derivative, and that a base is not generally required. Additional functional groups tolerated in the reactants include hydroxyl, azide, nitro, oxirane, and carbamate groups, but neither primary aliphatic... 

Lewis acids such as silyl triflates7 or boron trifluoride8 initiate the rearrangement of allyl acetates, usually with low stereoselectivity. But soft electrophilic metal ions such as Hg2+ or Pd2 + catalyze the rearrangement of allylic esters and carbamates (Table l)9.
