Ultrasound Promoted ‘One Pot’ Conversion of Nitrocompounds to Carbamates [1]

Abstract

An efficient ultrasound promoted novel direct conversion of nitro compounds to N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl) amines and N-(ethoxycarbonylamines) is achieved using Sn-NH₄Cl for the first time.

Key words

ultrasound - nitrocompounds - N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl) amines - N-(ethoxycarbonyl) amines - Sn-NH₄Cl - one pot
