Process for the production of aromatic urethanes

摘要

A process is described for the preparation of aromatic urethanes in which an organic carbonate in a stoichiometric quantity or in a quantity higher than the stoichiometric value is reacted with an aromatic amine operating in the presence of a carbamation catalyst, wherein this catalyst is selected from zinc and/or copper carbonate hydroxide. The process gives high yields and selectivity in the useful reaction product.
