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 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.

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.
