Abstract
A simple one-pot conversion of carboxylic acids to carbamates is achieved in the presence of propylphosphonic anhydride (T3P) in combination with azidotrimethylsilane and an alcohol via the Curtius rearrangement. Besides diverse primary to tertiary alcohols, the reaction tolerated a wide scope of aromatic, heterocyclic, and aliphatic carboxylic acids which underwent rearrangement in excellent yields.
