Unsymmetrical cycliccarbonates have been reported1, 2 to react with amines to give mixtures of the expected isomeric carbamates. Katzhendler and co-workers noted the effects of factors such as polarity and bulk of sub-stituents on carbamate isomer distribution ratios but ex-cluded the possibility of thermodynamic equilibration between the products under the reaction conditions. 2 We wish to report that the reaction of isobutylene carbonate (1, Scheme I) with secondary amines proceeds with initial formation of a kinetic product mixture (2 and 3) which indeed then undergoes equilibration to the thermodynamic product mixture comprised almost exclusively of 3. The reaction of isobutylene carbonate (1) with mor-pholine at 120 C is illustrative as summarized in Table I. By use of a NMR assay to follow the rate of disappearance of starting materials and the appearance of products 2b and 3b, it was observed that a kinetic product mixture consisting of an excess of 2b over 3b was formed at the early stages of thereaction. As the reaction pro-ceeded toward completion the 3b/2b ratio increased to the thermodynamic equilibrium value of greater than 97: 3. When the same reaction was run at 20 C for 36 days, an approximately 50: 50 mixture of 3b/2b was obtained (also containing 20% starting materials). Compound 2b was isolated from this mixture by column chromatography and shown to give 3b in 98% yield when treated at room tem-perature in D20 with excess morpholine. Equilibration of the product carbamates is therefore found to occur under both neat or aqueous reactionconditions similar tothose employed by Katzhendler. 2 Both the aminolysis of 1 and the transformation of 2 to 3 appear to be most facile in polar protic solvents. For instance, in water3 the reaction is complete (1 completely consumed, 3/2 ratio of approx-imately 98: 2) within 30 min at room temperature while in acetonitrile, Me2SO, or excess amine (neat), considerably longer times or higher temperatures are necessary for completion.
