Abstract
A catalytic amount of N-methylimidazole (NMI) accelerated a mild one-pot synthesis of aromatic and aliphatic carbamates via the Lossen rearrangement. Moreover, the utility of arylsulfonyl chloride in combination with NMI minimizes the formation of often-observed hydroxamate-isocyanate dimers.
