It is actually worth noting that the bulky carbamoyl chlorides (i.e., N,N-diethylcarbamoyl chloride and N,N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride) substantially lower the conversion rates when compared with N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl chloride beneath the exact same set of carbamoylation situations (Table 1).Molecules 2021, 26, 6421 PEER Review Molecules 2021, 26, x FOR44of 16 ofScheme 2.
