Uses

Used in Agricultural Industry:
1-(2-Nitrophenyl)-3-phenyl-2-thiourea is used as a herbicide for controlling grasses and broad-leaved weeds in a variety of crops. It is effective in managing unwanted plant growth, ensuring the healthy development of desired crops and increasing agricultural productivity.
1-(2-Nitrophenyl)-3-phenyl-2-thiourea is used as a photosynthesis inhibitor for its herbicidal action, targeting the photosynthetic process in unwanted plants and leading to their death. This selective control helps maintain crop quality and yield by reducing competition for resources and preventing the spread of invasive species.

2-Picolylamino(diphenylphosphinoselenoic)amide supported zinc complexes: Efficient catalyst for insertion of N–H bond into carbodiimides, isocyanates, and isothiocyanate

We report here the hydroamination of heterocumulenes such as carbodiimides, isocyanates, and isothiocyanates by zinc complexes supported by the ligand 2-picolylamino-(diphenylphosphinoselenoic)amide [{(Ph2P-(?Se)}2NCH2(C5H4N)] (1). A series of zinc complexes [κ2-{(Ph2P-(?Se)}2NCH2(C5H4N)ZnX2] [(X?Cl (2), Br (3a), I (4)] were prepared from ligand 1 and the corresponding zinc dihalide in a 1:1 molar ratio at 60°C in a chloroform solvent. The reaction of ligand 1 and ZnBr2 in methanol yielded another zinc complex [κ2-{(Ph2P-(?Se)}2NCH2(C5H4N)ZnBr2(CH3OH)] (3b). The molecular structures of compounds 3a, 3b, and 4 were established through single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The solid-state structures of all the complexes revealed a κ2- chelation through pyridine nitrogen and selenium atoms of ligand 1 to the zinc ion. Complex 2 proved to be a competent pre-catalyst for the addition of the amine N–H bond to carbodiimides, isocyanates, and isothiocyanates. The reaction scope was expanded to reactions of aliphatic and aromatic amines with phenylisocyanate and phenylisothiocyanate in toluene solvents, which proceeded rapidly at room temperature with 5 mol% catalyst loading to yield (up to 99%) the corresponding derivatives of urea and thio-urea. However, a temperature of 90°C was needed for the hydroamination of N,N′ dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. We also report the most plausible mechanism of the hydroamination reaction.

Hydroamination of carbodiimides, isocyanates, and isothiocyanates by a bis(phosphinoselenoic amide) supported titanium(IV) complex

The hydroamination of heterocumulenes such as carbodiimides, isocyanates, and isothiocyanates by a bis(phosphinoselenoic amide) supported titanium(iv) complex as a precatalyst is reported here. The titanium(iv) complex [{Ph2P(Se)NCH2CH2NPPh2(Se)}Ti(NMe2)2] (1) was synthesised by the reaction of tetrakis-(dimethylamido)titanium(iv) [Ti(NMe2)4] with [{Ph2P(Se)NHCH2CH2NHPPh2(Se)}] in toluene at ambient temperature. Titanium complex 1 proved to be a competent pre-catalyst for the addition of an amine N-H bond to carbodiimides, isocyanates, and isothiocyanates. The reaction scope was expanded to reactions of aliphatic and aromatic amines with phenylisocyanates and phenylisothiocyanates in toluene solvents proceeding rapidly at room temperature with 5 mol% catalyst loadings to yield the corresponding urea and thio-urea derivatives up to 99%. However, ambient temperature was needed for hydroamination of 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The amine addition reactions with isocyanates showed first order kinetics with respect to catalyst 1 as well as substrates. The most plausible mechanism for the hydroamination reaction was established by isolating 1,1-dimethylphenyl urea as a side product.

Intramolecular Reaction Between Nitro and Carbodi-imide Groups; A New Synthesis of 2-Arylbenzotriazoles

1-(2-Nitrophenyl)-5-phenyltetrazole (5b) decomposes when heated to give nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and 2-phenylbenzotriazole (6) in high yield.This new molecular rearrangement proceeds via 2-nitrophenyl(phenyl)carbodi-imide (8).Other precursors of this carbodi-imide, i.e. oxadiazolone (10), oxadiazolethione (11), oxathiadiazole 2-oxide (12), and the aminimide (16), and carbodi-imide itself, all give 2-phenylbenzotriazole (6) on thermolysis, the last three in high yield.This reaction is general for diarylcarbodi-imides with an ortho nitro group, and their precursors, and it provides a useful new route to 2-arylbenzotriazoles.A sequence of electrocyclic ring closing and opening reactions (Scheme 5) is proposed as the mechanism of this process.The key intermediate, 2-phenyl-1,2,4-benzotriazin-3-one 1-oxide (19) has been isolated from a careful thermolysis of (12) in toluene; in solution it is in reversible equlibrium with the ring-opened form (20).This new nitro-carbodi-imide group interaction has been extended to the more stable nitrobiphenyl(phenyl)carbodi-imide (25) and nitronaphthyl(phenyl)carbodi-imide (24) which, on flash vacuum pyrolysis, give benzimidazophenanthridine (29) and benzindazole 1-oxide (32) respectively, in new rearrangements.
