The anodic oxidation of methyl N,N-dialkylcarbamate (4) in methanol yielded three types of products, that is, α-amethoxylated compound (5), enamine-type product (6) and dealkylated carbamate (7). Inter- and intramolecular isotope effects were measured to be 1.5-1.6 and 1.8-1.9, respectively. The reaction mechanism was discussed on the bases of product study, oxidation potential of carbamate, current-potential relationship, and isotope effect, and the electron transfer from the carbamate to anode was suggested as the initiation process. © 1975, American Chemical Society.
