A catalyst-free N-benzyloxycarbonylation of amines in aqueous micellar media at room temperature

N-Benzyloxycarbonylation of amines was carried out in aqueous micellar media. Aliphatic (open and cyclic), aromatic and heteroaromatic amines react with Cbz-Cl to give excellent yields of products. The reactions were carried out in water and at room temperature.
