Participants

Reaction Steps

Alternatively, a compound of formula II can be treated with a chloroformate, e.g., an alkylchloroformate or phenylchloroformate, at a temperature of 25°-125° C. in a solvent such as toluene or benzene to provide the corresponding N-alkoxycarbonyl or N-phenoxycarbonyl compound.
