Ethyl, amine carbamate

Carbamates and acetyl derivatives of amines are listed with the amines. Carbamate refers to ethyl carbamate. 

Carbamates are produced by the oxidative carbonylation of amines in alcohol, and active research on the commercial production of carbamates as a precursor of isoyanates based on this reaction has been carried out. As an example, ethyl phenylcarbamate (582) is produced in a high yield (95%) with... 

Carbodiimides have been prepared by desulfurization of thioureas by metal oxides, by sodium hypochlorite,4 or by ethyl chloroformate in the presence of a tertiary amine by halogena-tion of ureas or thioureas followed by dehydrohalogenation of the N,N -disubstituted carbamic chloride 8 and by dehydration of disubstituted ureas using -toluenesulfonyl chloride and pyridine.7 The method described above is a modification of that of Campbell and Verbanc. ... 

Alkyl esters are efficiently dealkylated to trimethylsilyl esters with high concentrations of iodotrimethylsilane either in chloroform or sulfolane solutions at 25-80° or without solvent at 100-110°.Hydrolysis of the trimethylsilyl esters serves to release the carboxylic acid. Amines may be recovered from O-methyl, O-ethyl, and O-benzyl carbamates after reaction with iodotrimethylsilane in chloroform or sulfolane at 50—60° and subsequent methanolysis. The conversion of dimethyl, diethyl, and ethylene acetals and ketals to the parent aldehydes and ketones under aprotic conditions has been accomplished with this reagent. The reactions of alcohols (or the corresponding trimethylsilyl ethers) and aldehydes with iodotrimethylsilane give alkyl iodides and a-iodosilyl ethers,respectively. lodomethyl methyl ether is obtained from cleavage of dimethoxymethane with iodotrimethylsilane. 

H NMR data has been reported for the ethylzinc complex, Zn(TPP—NMe)Et, formed from the reaction of free-base N-methyl porphyrin H(TPP—NMe) with ZnEti. The ethyl proton chemical shifts are observed upheld, evidence that the ethyl group is coordinated to zinc near the center of the porphyrin. The complex is stable under N2 in the dark, but decomposed by a radical mechanism in visible light.The complex reacted with hindered phenols (HOAr) when irradiated with visible light to give ethane and the aryloxo complexes Zn(TPP—NMe)OAr. The reaction of Zn(TPP—NMe)Et, a secondary amine (HNEt2) and CO2 gave zinc carbamate complexes, for example Zn(TPP—NMclOiCNEti."" ... 

The first reported synthesis of hydroxyurea (24) consists of the condensation of hy-droxylamine with potassium cyanate (Scheme 7.14) [87]. Condensation of hydroxy-lamine with ethyl carbamate also gives pure hydroxyurea in good yield after recrystallization (Scheme 7.14) [88]. Nitrogen-15 labeled hydroxyurea provides a useful tool for studying the NO-producing reactions of hydroxyurea and can be prepared by the condensation of N-15 labeled hydroxylamine with either potassium cyanate or trimethylsilyl isocyanate followed by silyl group removal (Scheme 7.14) [89, 90]. Addition of hydroxylamine to alkyl or aryl isocyanates yields alkyl or aryl N-hydroxyureas (Scheme 7.14) [91, 92]. The condensation of amines with aromatic N-hydroxy carbamates also produces N-substituted N-hydroxyureas (Scheme 7.14) [93]. 

Another recently reported case is that of the antiarrhythmic agent moric-izine, an ethyl carbamate derivative of a primary aromatic amine (R-NH-C0-0-CH2CH3) [109]. Hydrolysis to the carbamic acid... 

Amines. The common impurities found in amines are nitro compounds (if prepared by reduction), the corresponding halides (if prepared from them) and the corresponding carbamate s ts. Amines are dissolved in aqueous acid, the pH of the solution being at least three units below the pK value of the base to ensure almost complete formation of the cation. They are extracted with ethyl ether to remove neutral impurities and to decompose the carbamate salts. The solution is then made strongly alkaline and the amines that separate are extracted into a suitable solvent (ether or toluene) or steam distilled. The latter process removes coloured impurities. Note that chloroform cannot be used as a solvent for primary amines because, in the presence of alkali, poisonous carbylamines are formed. However, chloroform is a useful solvent for the extraction of heterocyclic bases. In this case it has the added advantage that while the extract is being freed from the chloroform most of the moisture is removed with the solvent.
