Abstract

A process for the synthesis of thiocarbamic acid esters by reacting amine compounds having a general formula ##STR1## wherein A is an arylene radical, simple or substituted by halogens hydrocarbon radicals, alkoxy groups, or can be an alkylene radical having from 1 to 15 carbon atoms, straight-line or branched, simple or substituted, whereas X can be hydrogen --NH.sub.2 or can be an H.sub.2 --N--Z group in which the bivalent function Z derives from alkyl, aryl, cycloaryl, alkaryl, aralkyl radicals which can be, in their turn, simple or substituted, R and R' equal or different can be hydrogen or alkyl, aryl, alkaryl radicals and otherwise, with carbon monoxide, in the presence of a catalyst composed of a metallic selenide. The thiocarbamic acid esters are known compounds that find applications as medicaments for plants and as intermediates for organic synthesis.
