What kind of reaction is involved in the derivative making mechanism of 1-Naphthylurethane from 3-methyl-1-butanol. Also what is the name of the derivative formed?
1-Naphthylurethane is generally prepared by reacting isocyanates with alcohols. here, Isocyanates are electrophiles, and they are reactive toward a variety of nucleophiles (i.e. alcohols, amines, and water).
Upon treatment with an alcohol, an isocyanate forms a urethane linkage.
If we react 3-methyl-1-butanol with 1-Napthyl isocyante gives Isopentyl naphthalen-1-ylcarbamate (as derivative)
