The alcoholysis of N-acetoxy-N-alkoxycarbamates by methanol or ethanol at 20 – 40 °C yields N,N-dialkoxycarbamates and acetic acid. At
the lower temperature the competitive formation of N,N’-bis(alkoxycarbonyl)-N,N’-bis(alkoxy)hydrazines can occur. The alkaline
hydrolysis of N,N-dialkoxycarbamates yields NH-N,N-dialkoxyamines.
Key words: : Nucleophilic substitution at nitrogen, N-acyloxy-N-alkoxycarbamates, alcoholysis, N,N-dialkoxycarbamates, hydrolysis,
NH-N,N-dialkoxyamines.
