A mild method for the synthesis of carbamates from amino alcohols involves sequential carboxylation with carbon dioxide, followed by a Mitsunobu reaction. Unexpectedly, the stereochemical course of the Mitsunobu reaction is dependent on whether the carbamic acid intermediate is N-substituted with hydrogen (retention) or carbon (inversion).
