Cyclodimerization of isocyanates promoted by one large vertex metallaborane

The 10-vertex Manganese-decaborane [nido-6-Mn(CO)3B9H13][NMe4] was found to act as an efficient catalyst for isocyanate cyclodimerization under photo-irradiation conditions. The reaction yields were comparable with other metal catalyst reported in literature. One of the products was characterized by X-ray crystallographic study and reaction mechanism was also proposed. The results are very encouraging as they represent first examples of a large metallaborane compound to catalyze the cyclodimerization of isocyanates.

The cyclotrimerization of aryl isocyanates and the cyclodimerization of alkyl isocyanates initiated by one praseodymium benzenethiolate complex [Pr(SPh)3(THF)3] were investigated. Comparative runs with [Pr(SPh)3(THF)3] and its precursor Pr[(Me 3Si)2N]3 showed that the former has the advantages of a higher selectivity toward isocyanates, easy preparation, low catalyst loading, high conversion as well as mild reaction conditions.
Organocatalyzed synthesis of ureas from amines and ethylene carbonate
Saliu, Francesco,Rindone, Bruno
experimental part, p. 6301 - 6304 (2011/01/04)
A new solventless method for the synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical ureas, starting from ethylene carbonate and amines, is reported. 1,5,7-Triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene(TBD) and thioureas have been found to be efficient organocatalysts for this reaction.
