Abstract
Abstract Organic urethanes are prepared by reacting an organic nitrocompound, an organic hydroxy compound, and carbon monoxide in the presence of a novel catalyst system. The catalyst system is comprised of a noble metal compound, a heteroaromatic nitrogen compound, and an oxide of thorium or uranium.
