Japanese researchers have developed a new, high-yield reaction process to obtain aromatic urethane from carbon dioxide (CO2), amine, and tin alkoxide. Aromatic urethane compounds are chemical substances currently used as drugs, agrochemicals, etc., but show high promise as raw materials for polyurethanes.
