Procedure
Phenyl chloroformate (1.73 g.) was added to a vigorously stirred solution of 2,2-dimethoxyethylamine (1.05 g.) and potassium carbonate (1.39 g.) in water (20 ml.), and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The mixture was extracted with ether, and the ether extract dried and evaporated to dryness to give phenyl N-(2,2-dimethoxyethyl)carbamate (1.5 g.) which was used without further purification.
