โฆ Synopsis
Mild and selective N-alkylation of carbamates was carried out in the presence of cesium carbonate, tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI), and a halide. This protocol was highly selective and efficient, offering aliphatic and aromatic N-alkyl carbamates exclusively in high yields.

A facile one-pot synthesis of N-alkyl carbamates is described. A primary amine, CO 2 , and an alkyl halide underwent a three-component coupling using cesium carbonate and tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) giving rise to the resultant carbamate. In the presence of Cs 2 CO 3 , subsequent N-alkylation o
