Abstract

A novel and selective method for the synthesis of carbamoylacetates via the alcoholysis of 3-iodopropynamides has been developed. 3-Iodopropynamides react with alcohols in the presence of palladium(II) acetate and DABCO to afford the corresponding carbamoylacetates in moderate to good yields.
