A sustainable metal-free route to urethanes and ureas based on a photocatalyzed oxidative decarboxylation of oxamic acids is described. The reaction includes in situ generation of an isocyanate from the oxamic acid, using an organic dye as a photocatalyst, a hypervalent iodine reagent as an oxidant and a light source, which trigger the free-radical decarboxylation. This protocol successfully avoids the isolation, purification and storage of carcinogenic isocyanates and allows elaboration of urethanes and ureas in a one-pot process from commercially available sources.

Paragraph 0040-0043, (2016/11/17)
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing N,N'-disubstituent urea. The method comprises the following steps: adding N-substituent urea, a metal iridium, rhodium or ruthenium complex catalyst, an alkali, a compound alcohol and a solvent (or no solvent) to a reaction container; reacting at 90-130 DEG C for a plurality of hours and cooling the reaction mixture to room temperature; carrying out rotary evaporation to remove the solvent, and then separating through a column, so as to obtain a target compound. Compared with the prior art, N,N'-disubstituent urea which is obtained by regional selective alkylation reaction between commercial or easily synthesized N-substituent urea and the alcohol reflects and displays three significant advantages: 1) the alcohol which is nearly non-toxic is utilized as an alkylating reagent; 2) just water is generated as a by-product in the reaction, and harm to environment is not generated; 3) reaction atom economy is high. Therefore, the reaction accords with the requirements of green chemistry, and has a broad development prospect.
