S. Kanagasabapathy et al., OXIDATIVE CARBONYLATION OF N-BUTYLAMINE USING TRANSITION-METAL CATALYSTS, Industrial & engineering chemistry research, 33(1), 1994, pp. 1-6
Oxidative carbonylation of n-butylamine to methyl N-butylcarbamate has
been reported. Several homogeneous and heterogeneous transition metal
catalysts have been tested for their activity and selectivity. The ef
fect of promoters, solvents, and temperature has been investigated. Te
mperature plays a vital role in the selectivity of carbamate.
