    Abstract: Phenyl N-methylcarbamate of formula MeNH-COO-Ph (I) is produced by reaction of the corresp. (1-4C alkyl)-ester (II) with phenol in the liq. phase at elevated temp. in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, with continuous distillation of the alcohol ROH from the reaction mixt. Catalyst is pref. Ti(OEt)4, Ti(OPh)4, Ti(OPr)4, Al(OPr)3, Bu2Sn(OMe)2 or Bu2SnO. Reaction is carried out at 100-200 deg.C and 0.02-1 bar in the presence of an inert solvent, pref. 1,2-dichlorobenzene (DCB). Excess phenol is used, and mol. ratio (II):Lewis acid = (10:1)-(100:1). USE/ADVANTAGE - (I) is useful as a blocked methyl isocyanate (III), which releases the highly toxic (III) by thermal cleavage immediately before use. A simple and safe process for the prodn. of (I).

    Abstract: Pyridinol carbamate is prepared by a process in which a carbamate of the formula H3C-NH-CO-O-R where R is methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl or tert.-butyl, is reacted with 2,6-bis-(hydroxymethyl)-pyridine in the presence of a transesterification catalyst of the Lewis acid type in the liquid phase at elevated temperatures.
