A simple and efficient methodology for the direct halogenation of N -phenylureas was developed using trihaloisocyanuric acids in acetonitrile at room temperature. This protocol proved to be effective for the construction of N -phenylureas with different patterns of substitution. Additionally, less reactive N -benzylureas were halogenated in the presence of a mixture of trifluoroacetic acid and acetonitrile at room temperature.

[Chemical Equation Presented] Carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) was found to mediate the Lossen rearrangement of various hydroxamic acids to isocyanates. This process is experimentally simple and mild, with imidazole and CO 2 being the sole stoichiometric byproduct. Significant for large-scale application, the method avoids the use of hazardous reagents and thus represents a green alternative to standard processing conditions for the Curtius and Hofmann rearrangements.
A novel synthesis of isocyanates and ureas via β-elimination of haloform

A novel synthesis of isocyanates via base-induced β-elimination of haloform from N-monosubstituted trihaloacetamides is described. The rate of reaction exhibits a strong dependence on the nature of the trihalomethyl group. Thus, while the reaction of tribromoacetamides proceeds at room temperature and the reaction of trichloroacetamides requires heating in polar solvents, no reaction could be observed for any of the corresponding trifluoro derivatives. This novel β-elimination of haloform from stable and readily available trihaloacetamides was applied to a 'one-pot' synthesis of ureas which avoids the use of phosgene and isolation of isocyanates.
