contents Green Synthesis of Alkyl Carbamates via Non‐Phosgene Process From Reactions of NH 3 and Dialkyl Carbonate Over Zn‐Acetate‐Triazolato Catalysts Peixue Wang Wenjing Li Shimin Liu Wei Zhang Shuchao Jiang Xinjiang Cui Feng Shi ChemSusChem A series of zinc‐acetate‐triazolato catalysts (Zn(OAc)ATZ, Zn(OAc)TZ, Zn(OAc)TRZ, ATZ = 3‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazolate, TZ = 1,2,4‐triazolate, TRZ = 5‐aminotetrazole) were developed for the direct synthesis of alkyl carbamates and corresponding alcohols from ammonia and dialkyl carbonates. Among them, Zn(OAc)ATZ exhibited exceptional catalytic performance due to its high surface area (441.11 m 2 /g), hierarchical porosity, and appropriate coordination environment. Under optimized conditions, 89% conversion of diethyl carbonate (DEC) with 88% ethyl carbamate (EC) yield could be achieved over Zn(OAc)ATZ at 80°C for 16 h. For dimethyl carbonate (DMC), a remarkable 98% conversion and 97% methyl carbamate (MC) yield were obtained at 30°C within 6 h, while dibutyl carbonate (DBC) required 24 h at 90°C to reach 95% conversion and 93% butyl carbamate (BC) yield. Characterization of XPS and FT‐IR revealed that the synergistic interaction between Zn–N bonds and carboxylate groups stabilized the active sites, enabling efficient substrate activation. The catalyst retained >87% activity after three cycles, demonstrating excellent stability in alkaline ammonia environments. This work provides a sustainable and industrially viable strategy for alkyl carbamate synthesis, aligning with green chemistry principles and the “dual‐carbon” agenda. 10.1002/cssc.70739 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
