Abstract
The reaction of amines and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) in the presence of catalytic amounts of l-proline and tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) afforded methyl carbamates in good to excellent yields under mild conditions. The presence of both l-proline and TBAB co-catalysts is vital for this transformation.
