title: Metal free oxidative coupling of aryl formamides with alcohols for the synthesis of carbamates.
abstract: A direct transformation of N-aryl formamides to the corresponding carbamates via the formation of isocyanate intermediates is achieved in good yields using hypervalent iodine as an oxidant.
