A synthetic N, N '-di-substituted ureas method

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing N,N'-disubstituent urea. The method comprises the following steps: adding N-substituent urea, a metal iridium, rhodium or ruthenium complex catalyst, an alkali, a compound alcohol and a solvent (or no solvent) to a reaction container; reacting at 90-130 DEG C for a plurality of hours and cooling the reaction mixture to room temperature; carrying out rotary evaporation to remove the solvent, and then separating through a column, so as to obtain a target compound. Compared with the prior art, N,N'-disubstituent urea which is obtained by regional selective alkylation reaction between commercial or easily synthesized N-substituent urea and the alcohol reflects and displays three significant advantages: 1) the alcohol which is nearly non-toxic is utilized as an alkylating reagent; 2) just water is generated as a by-product in the reaction, and harm to environment is not generated; 3) reaction atom economy is high. Therefore, the reaction accords with the requirements of green chemistry, and has a broad development prospect.
