Acidity of benzoylcarbamates in dimethyl sulfoxide. Confirmation of mixed N/O alkylation in the Mitsunobu reaction

Abstract
Seventeen benzoyl-, 4-methoxybenzoyl- and 4-nitrobenzoyl-carbamates have been synthesized via their corresponding isocyanates and their acidities determined in dimethyl sulfoxide solution. Their pKa values span an interval of nearly 5 pK units (10.4–15.2). Selected derivatives have been investigated as amine synthons in the Mitsunobu reaction. In all cases mixtures of N- and O- alkylated products are obtained.
