Procedure
One milliliter of dibutyltin dilaurate was added under agitation as catalyst to a solution of 3.3 gm (0.058 mol) of methyl isocyanate and 12.8 gm (0.057 mol) of 2-(3-iodo-2-propynyloxy)-ethanol in 50 ml ethylene chloride. Due to the exothermic reaction, the temperature rose gradually from room temperature to 30° C. After a reaction time of 16 hours, the solvent was removed by distillation under vacuum, and the yellowish oil obtained was extracted with n-hexane to separate the catalyst, the hexane phase being discarded. Then, the residual solvent was removed under vacuum,, and 15.6 gm of 2-(3-iodo-2-propynyloxy)-ethyl N-methyl-carbamate (97% of theory) were obtained as a clear, yellowish oil, which crystallized into a colorless solid (melting point: 52°-55° C). Solubility: dissolves readily in ethanol or acetone; almost insoluble in water.
