Ammonium carbamate can be used as a very effective reagent for preparation of different substituted b-amino-a,b-unsaturated esters in methanol at room temperature. The product is isolated without aqueous work-up in high purity and excellent yield. The method is simple and easily scaled-up.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
