Ammonium carbamate is a chemical compound with the formula [NH₄][H₂NCO₂] consisting of ammonium cation NH+4 and carbamate anion NH₂COO⁻. It is a white solid that is extremely soluble in water, less so in alcohol. Ammonium carbamate can be formed by the reaction of ammonia NH₃ with carbon dioxide CO₂, and will slowly decompose to those gases at ordinary temperatures and pressures. It is an intermediate in the industrial synthesis of urea (NH₂)₂CO, an important fertilizer.^[4]
