“Urea to Urea” Approach: Access to Unsymmetrical Ureas Bearing Pyridyl Substituents

A protocol for the synthesis of unsymmetrical ureas substituted by pyridyl/quinolinyl moiety has been developed. This method concluded in metal- and base-free reamination of N,N-dimethyl-N‘-hetaryl ureas with a wide range of aryl and alkyl amines. The isolated yields vary from 40 to 96% depending on the nucleophilicity of the amines. The scope of this method includes more than 50 examples. The reaction is not hindered by either donor or acceptor groups as well as diverse functionalities. The synthesis can be easily scaled to gram quantities. Theoretical calculations supported by experimental data allowed us to propose a plausible mechanism for the process. This reaction takes place through the intermediate formation of hetaryl isocyanate. (Figure presented.).

Hydroamination and Hydrophosphination of Isocyanates/Isothiocyanates under Catalyst-Free Conditions

Symmetrical and unsymmetrical N,N’-disubstituted as well as trisubstituted ureas/thioureas by the hydroamination of isocyanates/isothiocyanates, and various phosphathioureas by the hydrophosphination of isothiocyanates have been synthesized in good to excellent yields under catalyst-free and mild conditions. This protocol is also applicable for the efficient synthesis of chiral ureas and thioureas and common herbicides, such as fenuron and monuron.

Palladium-Catalyzed cascade carbonylative synthesis of 1,2,4-triazol-3-ones from hydrazonoyl chlorides and NaN3

A palladium-catalyzed three-component carbonylative reaction for the synthesis of 3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-ones from hydrazonoyl chlorides and NaN3 has been achieved. The reaction presumably proceeds through a cascade carbonylation, acyl azide format

Nitroarenes as versatile building blocks for the synthesis of unsymmetrical urea derivatives and N-Arylmethyl-2-substituted benzimidazoles

In this contribution, a fast and simple method for the synthesis of unsymmetrical urea derivatives and N-arylmethyl-2-substituted benzimidazoles was developed starting from nitroarenes. The reaction of nitroarenes and phenyl isocyanate or phenyl isothiocyanate in tin (II) chloride dihydrate/choline chloride eutectic mixture afforded the expected urea and thiourea derivatives, while the reaction of different aldehydes with o-nitroaniline or 4-methoxy-2-nitroaniline shows a markedly high preference for the obtention of N-arylmethyl-2-substituted benzimidazoles over the 2-substituted analogues. This method offers a straightforward alternative to obtain the target compounds in good to excellent yields with short reaction times employing an operationally simple experimental set-up. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.] A series of unsymmetrical urea and thiourea derivatives together with 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles are easily obtained in good yields starting from nitroarenes employing the eutectic mixture tin (II) chloride dihydrate/choline chloride as reductive reaction media.

Searching for small molecules as antibacterials: Non-cytotoxic diarylureas analogues of triclocarban

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.

Hydroamination of isocyanates and isothiocyanates by alkaline earth metal initiators supported by a bulky iminopyrrolyl ligand

A series of new heteroleptic alkaline earth (Ae) metal complexes of general formula [{(Ph2CHN-CH)2C4H2N}AeI(THF)3] {Ae = Ca (2), Sr (3), and Ba (4)} were synthesizedviasalt metathesis by reacting potassium salt of ligand1-K[{(Ph2CHN-CH)2C4H2N}K(THF)2] with anhydrous alkaline earth metal diiodides (AeI2). The homoleptic calcium and barium complexes [{(Ph2CHN-CH)2C4H2N}2Ae] [Ae = Ca (5), Ba (6)] were prepared by treating metal bis-hexamethyldisilazide [Ae{N(SiMe3)2}2(THF)2] with the protic ligand1-H[(Ph2CH-N-CH)2C4H2NH] in a 1:2 molar ratio. Calcium complex5was used as an active pre-catalyst for the addition of N-H bond of arylamines across the heterocumulenes such as phenylisocyanate (PhNCO) and phenylisothiocyanate (PhNCS) under neat conditions, and up to 99% yields of the corresponding urea and thiourea derivatives were obtained.

An Improved Synthesis of Urea Derivatives from N -Acylbenzotriazole via Curtius Rearrangement

The good leaving tendency of the benzotriazole moiety has been exploited for the synthesis of symmetric, unsymmetric, N -acyl, and cyclic ureas in good yields from N -acylbenzotriazoles by treating the latter with various amines in the presence of TMSN 3 /Et 3 N in a sealed tube. The salient features of the devised protocol includes the high-yield, mild, metal-free, one-pot reaction conditions, and short reaction time. Furthermore, in many cases, no column chromatography is required for the purification.

Palladium-Catalyzed Synthesis of Symmetrical and Unsymmetrical Ureas Using Chromium Hexacarbonyl as a Convenient and Safe Alternative Carbonyl Source

Pd-catalyzed synthesis of urea derivatives from aryl iodides and different aliphatic and aromatic amines using sodium azide and chromium hexacarbonyl is described. In this process, carbonylation of aryl iodides, Curtius rearrangement of aroyl azides, and nucleophilic addition of amines sequentially occur to afford the products in good to excellent yields. This protocol is operationally simple and displays a broad substrates scope.

Direct conversion of carboxylic acids to various nitrogen-containing compounds in the one-pot exploiting curtius rearrangement

Herein we report, a single-pot multistep conversion of inactivated carboxylic acids to various N-containing compounds using a common synthetic methodology. The developed methodology rendered the use of carboxylic acids as a direct surrogate of primary amines, for the synthesis of primary ureas, secondary/tertiary ureas, O/S-carbamates, benzoyl ureas, amides, and N-formyls, exploiting the Curtius reaction. This approach has a potential to provide a diversified library of N-containing compounds, starting from a single carboxylic acid, based on the selection of the nucleophile.
