Carbamates liberate flammable H2 gas upon exposure to sodium metal (Smith, P. A. S., Open-Chain Nitrogen Compounds, Vol. I. New York: W. A. Benjamin, Inc., 1965, pp. 261).
Carbamate esters can be reduced by alkali metals to carbamate anions or to amines and alcohols (A. G. M. Barrett, P. Prokopiou, D. Barton, R. B. Boar, J. F. McGhie, Chem. Comm., 1979, p. 1173).
