We report a new electrochemical supporting-electrolyte-free method for synthesizing ureas, carbamates, and thiocarbamates via the oxidation of oxamic acids. This simple, practical, and phosgene-free route includes the generation of an isocyanate intermediate in situ via anodic decarboxylation of an oxamic acid in the presence of an organic base, followed by the one-pot addition of suitable nucleophiles to afford the corresponding ureas, carbamates, and thiocarbamates. This procedure is applicable to different amines, alcohols, and thiols. Furthermore, when single-pass continuous electrochemical flow conditions were used and this reaction was run in a carbon graphite Cgr/Cgr flow cell, urea compounds could be obtained in high yields within a residence time of 6 min, unlocking access to substrates that were inaccessible under batch conditions while being easily scalable.

Urethane synthesis via oxidative decarboxylation of oxamic acids under mild electrochemical conditions is reported. This simple phosgene-free route to urethanes involves an in situ generation of isocyanates by anodic oxidation of oxamic acids in an alcoholic medium. The reaction is applicable to a wide range of oxamic acids, including chiral ones, and alcohols furnishing the desired urethanes in a one-pot process without the use of a chemical oxidant.

The generation of carbamoyl radicals, followed by their addition to heteroarenes, was performed under mild conditions through a metal-free photocatalyzed decarboxylation of oxamic acids. The process has been applied to the carbamoylation of heteroaromatic bases using α-aminoacid-derived oxamic acids, leading to the corresponding amides without racemization.

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.

Structural modifications were made to a previously described acyl dipeptide caspase inhibitor, leading to the oxamyl dipeptide series. Subsequent SAR studies directed toward the warhead, P2, and P4 regions of this novel peptidomimetic are described herein.
Reactivity of Carbamoyl Radicals. A New, General, Convenient Free-Radical Synthesis of Isocyanates from Monoamides of Oxalic Acid

A new, general, simple synthesis of isocyanates was developed by oxidation of monoamides of oxalix acid with peroxydisulfate catalyzed by Ag and Cu salts.The reaction was carried out in a two-phase system (water and an organic solvent), and it is suitable also for practical applications, due to the simple experimental conditions and the inexpensive as well as nontoxic reagents.The first example of homolytic intramolecular aromatic carbamoylation is also reported.
