“…In 1886 Loeb (139) first reported that phosgene would react with ethyl carbamate to give an allophanate. Ethyl allophanate Later, thionyl chloride (68,163,187,218,224), sulfuryl chloride (60), and phosphorus pentoxide (14) were found capable of carrying out the conversion. Ethyl allophanate and triacylamides are ammonolyzed to the allophanate (52,54), N(COOR)3 + NH3 -*• ROCONHCONHí + ROCONH2 + ROH while dicarbethoxy cyanamide may be selectively hydrolyzed to give, in one case, an allophanate (53).…”
