Halogenation Using Quatenary Ammonium Polyhaloides. IX. One-Step Syntheses of Acylureas and Carbamates from Amides by Use of Tetrabutylammonium Tribromide and DBU

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.61.1401

The reaction of amides with tetrabutylammonium tribromide (TBA Br3) (0.5 equiv) and DBU (one equiv) in dichloromethane at room temperature gave N-substituted acylureas in fairly good yields.In the presence of alcohols, the reaction of amides with TBA Br3 (one equiv) and DBU (two equiv) gave N-substituted carbamates.
