ABATRACT: A direct approach to N,N′-disubstituted urea/thiourea from the self-condensation reactions of isothiocyanates in water has been developed. This access tolerated a wide range of functional groups on the aromatic ring, providing a practical and environment-friendly process to N,N′-disubstituted urea/thiourea in moderate to excellent yields from safe and easily available starting materials. A plausible mechanism of the desulfurization self-condensation reaction for urea was also proposed and the role of di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) and copper catalyst in the present strategy was demonstrated with the help of ESI mass spectrometry of intermediate studies.

A ligand-free palladium-catalyzed aerobic oxidative carbonylation of amines for the synthesis of ureas, particular unsymmetrically N,N′-disubstituted ureas, which cannot be accessed by any other palladium-catalyzed oxidative carbonylation of amines to date, is presented. An array of symmetrical and unsymmetrical ureas were straightforwardly synthesized by using inexpensive, readily available, stable, and safe amines with good to excellent yields under a pressure of 1 atm. This novel method employs oxygen as the sole oxidant and offers an attractive alternative to transition-metal-based oxidant systems.

A methodology employing CO2, amines, and phenylsilane was discussed to access aryl- or alkyl-substituted urea derivatives. This procedure was characterized by adopting hydrosilane to promote the formation of ureas directly, without the need to prepare silylamines in advance. Control reactions suggested that FeCl3 was a favorable additive for the generation of ureas, and this 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene-catalyzed reaction might proceed through nucleophilic addition, silicon migration, and the subsequent formal substitution of silylcarbamate.
