A wide range of chemicals such as amides, hydrazides, amines, alcohols, carbazate, and sulfonate were reacted with acyl isocyanates generated by the reaction of primary amides with oxalyl chloride to give symmetrical and unsymmetrical diacyl urea derivatives, acyl ureas/carbamates/thiocarbamates, and related compounds. This method provides means for convenient one-pot, two-step synthesis of compounds bearing urea, carbamate, and other functional groups from cheap and commercially available starting reagents. It is expected that the results presented in this report will expand the medicinal chemist’s toolbox.

4,5-Diarylimidazoles (1) undergo singlet oxygenation and cleavage to give N,N'-diaroylureas (2) on irradiation in alcoholic solutions in the presence of methylene blue as sensitizer. 5-Methoxy-4,5-diphenylimidazolin-2-one (5) and 4,5-dimethoxy-4,5-diphenylimidazolidin-2-one (6) have been reported as the principal products in the dye-sensitized irradiation of 4,5-diphenylimidazole in methanol.The formation of diaroylureas appears to proceed through the intermediacy of the corresponding imidazolin-2-one.A mechanistic pathway for the photochemical dye-sensitized oxygenation of the imidazoles is suggested.The photochemical cyclodehydrogenation reaction of the stilbene system present in 4,5-diarylimidazoles has also been carried out.
