Unlike N-alkyl carbamates, N-pentafluorosulfanyl carbamates (SF5NHCO2R) did not readily undergo nitration to provide the N-NO2 derivatives. Although trifluoroacetyl nitrate did provide nitration, work-up yielded a mixture of SF5N(NO2)CO2R and starting material. The ratio of nitration product to starting material was not changed after prolonged reaction times and the N-NO2 product was stable to the work-up conditions. A rationale for these results as well as the effect of varying R is discussed.
