title: Amidine catalysed O- to C-carboxyl transfer of heterocyclic carbonate derivatives.
abstract: The structural requirements of amidines necessary to act as efficient O- to C-carboxyl transfer agents are delineated and the scope of this process outlined through its application to a range of oxazolyl, benzofuranyl and indolyl carbonates.
