Abstract

Electrochemically induced Hofmann rearrangement under new solvent systems containing a variety of alcohols was developed. Since the reaction proceeds under mild conditions (neutral), a variety of carbamates possessing various alkoxy moieties could be easily prepared by this method. An epoxy functional group in the amide and alcohol parts remained intact during the electrolysis.
