Reaction Steps

A solution of 16.9 grams diphenylamine (0.1 mole) in 100 ml tetrahydrofuran was added, dropwise and with stirring, to a suspension of 4.2 grams sodium hydride (57% in mineral oil, washed with pentane) in 400 ml tetrahydrofuran. After the evolution of hydrogen had ceased, dry CO2 was passed through the solution for 30 minutes. Evaporation of the tetrahydrofuran afforded 21.2 grams (90%) of the sodium N, N-diphenylcarbamate, as a greyish solid, m.p. > 250° C. This compound had the following structure: ##STR6##
