Abstract
A CuI/MNAO [2-((2-methylnaphthalen-1-yl)amino)-2-oxoacetic acid] catalyzed cross-coupling of (hetero)aryl chlorides with potassium cyanate in alcohols provides N-(hetero)aryl carbamates in very good yields at 120-130°C. Moreover, (hetero)aryl bromides and (hetero)aryl iodides were reacted at lower catalyst loadings and lower temperatures.
