Aqueous synthesis of iodopropargyl carbamate

摘要

A method for making iodopropargyl carbamates in an aqueous reaction medium so as to yield a pure and stable product in a high yield, free from environmental hazards. The method comprises dispersing an alkynyl carbamate in a reaction medium consisting essentially of an aqueous solution of a surfactant, followed by iodinating the dispersed alkynyl carbamate in the reaction medium with iodine and sodium hypochlorite.
