Abstract
Chloroformates are key reagents for synthesizing carbonates and carbamates. The present study reports a novel photo-on-demand in situ synthesis of chloroformates with a CHCl3 solution containing a primary alkyl alcohol. It further allowed the one-pot synthesis of carbonates and carbamates through subsequent addition of alcohols or amines, respectively.
