I removed the hyperlink in "carbamic acid" because it redirected to the same page (carbamate)Hnc 06:50, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
It is not accurate to say that K<<1 for the carboxylation of an amine because the C-N bond is labile. K<<1 is a statement of thermodynamics which suggests that the amine and the fully oxidized CO2 are more stable than the carbamate product. Suggesting that the C-N bond is labile is a statement of its kinetics, meaning that it takes little energy to get to this reaction's transition state. I imagine the author meant to say that the C-N bond is less stable.
