Lanthanum(III) Trifluoromethanesulfonate Catalyzed Direct Synthesis of Ureas from N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-, N -Allyloxycarbonyl-, and N -2,2,2-Trichloroethoxycarbonyl-Protected Amines

A novel lanthanum triflate mediated conversion of N -benzyloxycarbonyl-, N -allyloxycarbonyl-, and N -trichloroethoxycarbonyl-protected amines into nonsymmetric ureas was discovered. In this study, lanthanum triflate was found to be an effective catalyst for preparing various nonsymmetric ureas from protected amines. A variety of protected aromatic and aliphatic carbamates reacted readily with various amines in the presence of lanthanum triflate to generate the desired ureas in high yields. This result demonstrated that this novel lanthanum triflate catalyzed preparation of ureas from Cbz, Alloc, and Troc carbamates can be employed for the formation of various urea structures.

Chemoselective isocyanide insertion into the N-H bond using iodine-DMSO: Metal-free access to substituted ureas

Insertion of isocyanides into the N-H bond gives access to many medicinally important and structurally diverse complex nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Although the transition metal catalyzed isocyanide insertion into the N-H bond is very common, polymerization of isocyanides in the presence of a transition metal and their strong coordination with metals are the common drawbacks. On the other hand, the inertness of most of the isocyanides towards amines in the absence of a metal catalyst has stymied the growth of the metal-free approach for isocyanide insertion into amines. As a result, only a handful of metal catalysed methods with limited substrate scopes have been reported for the synthesis of ureas via isocyanide insertion into amines and no metal-free version has been reported yet. Interestingly, chemoselective isocyanide insertion into amines has not been reported in the literature. We employed the I2-DMSO reagent system for the chemoselective synthesis of ureas, where isocyanides react with aliphatic amines only, while aromatic amines need a nucleophilic activator (DABCO) to facilitate the formation of ureas. This method gave direct and chemoselective access to ureas by evading the commonly used yet toxic isocyanates.

A green, isocyanide-based three-component reaction approach for the synthesis of multisubstituted ureas and thioureas

A one-pot, isocyanide based multicomponent protocol was presented starting from secondary amines towards (thio)urea derivatives and utilized for the construction of a diverse 27-membered chemical library. Following a green compatible microwave assisted condition, the formed N,N′-multisubstituted (thio)ureas were obtained in up to 85% yield.

Copper catalyzed oxidative coupling of amines with formamides: A new approach for the synthesis of unsymmetrical urea derivatives

Direct access to unsymmetrical urea derivatives via copper catalysed C-H/N-H coupling of formamides with amines has been developed at room temperature. This protocol is also applied to the synthesis of chiral urea derivatives.

Carbonyldiimidazole-mediated lossen rearrangement

[Chemical Equation Presented] Carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) was found to mediate the Lossen rearrangement of various hydroxamic acids to isocyanates. This process is experimentally simple and mild, with imidazole and CO 2 being the sole stoichiometric byproduct. Significant for large-scale application, the method avoids the use of hazardous reagents and thus represents a green alternative to standard processing conditions for the Curtius and Hofmann rearrangements.
