Definition of the Subject

Phosgene and phosgene-like reagents are still employed in industry in the production of aliphatic and aromatic carbamates, along with their isocyanate derivatives. Those compounds are important precursors for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, herbicides, pesticides, and polyurethanes commonly used in everyday life. However, despite their high reactivity and versatility,...
