Abstract

Abstract Five membered ring carbalkoxy aminimides are prepared from 1, 1- dimethylhydrazine and α-chloroalkyl chloroformates in three steps. Upon heating, these aminimides give high yields of N, N-dimethylamino isocyanate. This intermediate dimerizes or can be trapped in the presence of a nucleophile.
