Abstract
The conditions suitable for the electrochemically induced (E-I) Hofmann rea rrangement were scrutinized, and the E-I Hofmann rearrangement was compared with the classic Hofmann rearrangement. The E-I Hofmann rearrangement usua lly afforded reliable results with respect to the yields of the desired car bamates and the side products. Furthermore, by utilizing the advantage of t he E-I Hofmann rearrangement which could be carried out in new solvent syst ems containing a variety of alcohols under mild conditions (neutral), a var iety of carbamates possessing various functional groups were prepared.
