Oligomerization: An Inherent Property of Sulfonimidamides?
Aurell, Carl-Johan,Chen, Yantao,Rae, Rebecca
, (2020)
The treatment of the TBS-protected p-toluenesulfonimidamide with HCl exclusively affords the deprotected product. However, when HCl was replaced with formic acid, and the reaction mixture was left for an extended time or treated at high temperature, a mixture of oligomers was obtained as main products. The relevant N,N'-capped oligomers were prepared through carbamoylation with p-chlorophenyl isocyanate. The key to dicarbamoylation is to remove formic acid from the reaction mixture. For comparison, methylsulfonimidamide (as the representative of alkyl sulfonimidamides) was tested under similar conditions. Dissimilarly, the oligomerization occurred slowly, and the N,N'-dicarbamoylation is needed for an adequate separation of the oligomeric derivatives by HPLC. Oligomerization is an unexpected but inherent feature of sulfonimidamides, thus it is suggested that sulfonimidamides should be prepared in the HCl form or the TBS-protected derivatives to minimize the risk of formation of oligomers. Additionally, this work provides a simple approach to access oligomeric sulfonimidamides, an unexplored motif.

We have described a facile solvothermal synthesis of a sheet-like α-Ti(HPO4)2·H2O nanomaterial. The material comprises 10.7 nm nanoparticles along with ordered mesopores throughout its hexagonal building blocks. The material possesses a bandgap of 3.86 eV and works as an efficient catalyst for the selective synthesis of ureas from a broad range of isocyanates in the presence of H2O at room temperature with a high product yield (up to 93%) and a TOF value up to 15.25 h-1. The α-Ti(HPO4)2·H2O nanomaterial also catalytically converts glucose to levulinic acid (LA) and subsequently LA to alkyl levulinates in the presence of different alcohols with a high product yield (up to 98%) and a TOF value up to 43.00 h-1. Furthermore, all the reactions are performed under green and facile catalytic conditions without using any hazardous solvent. The α-Ti(HPO4)2·H2O catalyst material was also found to be reusable for manifold cycles for all the reactions, keeping its catalytic efficiency along with its structural and morphological characteristics unaffected, supporting its industrial relevance.

Triclocarban (TCC), a broad-spectrum lipophilic antimicrobial agent, is a diarylurea derivative that has been used for more than 60 years as a major ingredient of toys, clothing, food packaging materials, food industry floors, medical supplies and especially of personal care products, such as soaps, toothpaste and shampoo. In September 2016, the U.S. FDA banned nineteen antimicrobial ingredients, including TCC, in over-the-counter consumer antiseptic wash products, due to their toxicity. Withdrawal of TCC has prompted efforts to search for new antimicrobial compounds. In this paper, we present the synthesis and biological evaluation, as antibiotic and non-cytotoxic agents, of a series of diarylureas, analogues of TCC. These compounds are characterized by an intriguingly simple chemistry and can be easily synthesized. Among the synthesized compounds, 1ab and 1bc emerge as the most interesting compounds as they show the same activity of TCC (MIC = 16 μg/mL) against Staphylococcus aureus, and a higher activity than TCC against Enterococcus faecalis (MIC = 32 μg/mL versus MIC = 64 μg/mL). Moreover, 1ab and 1bc show no cytotoxicity towards the human mammary epithelial cells MCF-10A and embryonic kidney epithelial cells Hek-293, in opposition to TCC, which exhibits a marked cytotoxicity on the same cell lines and shows a good antitumor activity on a panel of cell lines tested.

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 variety of electronically and sterically different 1,3-diphenylurea derivatives can be obtained in good to excellent yields, and a proposed reaction mechanism is also presented.
Investigation of active sites using solid state 27Al and 31P MAS NMR in ceramic amorphous aluminophosphate materials prepared from different potassium salts of phosphate for the synthesis of diphenyl urea derivatives

Ceramic amorphous aluminophosphate (CAmAlP) catalysts were prepared by precipitation method using different phosphate salts of potassium such as KH2PO4, K4P2O7 and K2HPO4 as well as H3PO4. The prepared materials were characterized by PXRD, FT-IR, XPS, SEM, BET Surface area, NH3-TPD, 27Al NMR and 31P NMR analytical methods. The catalytic activity of the materials was checked in the synthesis of diphenyl urea (DPU) from aniline and diethyl carbonate, under refluxing conditions. Further, the general application of the catalysts was tested using various substituted anilines. The recyclability of the catalysts was also studied. Uncertainties in percentage yields were calculated to check the reproducible surface properties. The P-XRD, BET Surface area and NH3-TPD results indicated that the materials were amorphous with mesoporous texture, surface areas and acidities in the range 200–260 m2/g and 0.4–0.7 mmol/g respectively. 27Al NMR studies revealed that Al is present in three different coordination states such as tetrahedral, pentagonal and octahedral. The relative percentages of these Al sites depends on the type of the potassium precursor phosphate salt used. Both tetrahedral and pentagonal Al sites in conjunction with each other represented catalytically active sites. An increase in the pentagonal sites contributed to additional increments to the catalytic activity of CAmAlP. The catalyst prepared from KH2PO4 was found to be the best and demonstrated 96% DPU yield.

, p. 1223 - 1226 (2021/06/02)
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.
Zinc Powder Catalysed Formylation and Urealation of Amines Using CO2 as a C1 Building Block?

, p. 1057 - 1064 (2020/06/30)
Transformation of CO2 into valuable organic compounds catalysed by cheap and biocompatible metal catalysts is one of important topics of current organic synthesis and catalysis. Herein, we report the zinc powder catalysed formylation and urealation of amines with CO2 and (EtO)3SiH under solvent free condition. Using 2 molpercent zinc powder as the catalyst, a series of secondary amines, both the aromatic ones and the aliphatic ones, can be formylated into formamides. When primary aromatic amines were used as the substrates, the reactions produce urea derivatives. The electronic and steric effects from the substrates on the formylation and urealation reactions were observed and discussed. The recovery and reusability of zinc powder were investigated, showing the zinc powder can be reused in the formylation reaction without loss of catalytic activity. The analysis on the reactants/products mixture after filtering out the zinc powder showed the zinc concentration in the mixture is low to 1 ppm. The pathways for the formylation and urealation of amines with this catalytic system were also investigated, and related to the different substrates.
