Procedure
Phenyl chloroformate (1.08 mol) was added dropwise at a temperature <20° C. to a stirring solution of 4-nitrobenzenamine (1.02 mol) in DMA (500 ml) on ice and the mixture was stirred overnight. The mixture was poured into water (1000 ml), stirred till a homogenously suspension and filtered off, yielding phenyl (4-nitrophenyl)carbamate (intermediate 1).
