Bimolecular 1‐step mechanisms proposed for urethane formation reactions: Addition of the hydroxy group of the alcohol to the C=N bond of the isocyanate via a transition state with 4‐ring and without charges (upper path) and addition of the hydroxy group to the C=N bond via a zwitterionic transition state (lower path).
