Photocatalytic formation of a carbamate through ethanol-assisted carbonylation of p-nitrotoluene.
The nitroarene p-nitrotoluene is converted with a selectivity higher than 85% to the corresponding carbamate at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, using photoexcited particles of TiO2 as catalyst and EtOH as carbonylating species.
