14. The volatility of simple esters of NMAA support the formation of a strong NH-to-carbonyl hydrogen bonding, as in B of Scheme 2.
15. It is not clear why the esterification reaction failed with NMAA generated in situ from the DMAP-induced deprotection of its alkoxycarbonyl derivatives Since acid catalysis is required to trigger the attack of DMAP on the carbamate group, subtle acid-base effects might explain this observation.
