TRANSCRIPT
Alkyl Chloroformates react with ammonia or amines to
yield compounds called Carbamates or Urethanes
for example, benzyl chloroformat is used as protecting group in the synthesis of peptides
and protein.

The importance of carbanoic acid
Carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid (H2CO3) in water (or blood).
Carbonic acid is in dynamic equilibrium with hydrogen ion (H+) and bicarbonate
ion (HCO3-).
The HCO3- removes excess H+ in the blood by forming H2CO3.
If blood is low in H+, the H2CO3 dissociates to restore H+ concentrations.
Carbonic acid is a buffer that maintains blood pH near neutral.
