Samuilov, A. Ya. published the artcileCatalytic Metathesis of N-Methylformamide with Dimethyl Carbonate by Alcohol Associates, SDS of cas: 123-39-7, the main research area is methylformamide dimethyl carbonate alc catalytic metathesis.
The mechanism of N-methylformamide metathesis with di-Me carbonate, which leads to the formation of N,O-di-Me carbamate, is studied using the quantum-chem. B3LYP/6-311++G(df,p) approach. The reaction consists of three stages: the conversion of formamide to iminol; the adding of di-Me carbonate at the azomethine bond of iminol; and decomposition of the resulting product into carbamate and Me formate. The second stage limits the rate of interaction. All stages proceed through concerted cyclic transition state, and all of them are catalyzed efficiently by a monomer and a dimer of methanol.
