O-Substituted isocyanates (O-isocyanates) have rarely been used in organic synthesis, given their tendency to undergo side reactions (e.g., trimerization). Herein, we show that masked (blocked) O-isocyanate precursors allow one-pot or cascade reaction sequences featuring base-catalyzed substitution with 2-iodoanilines and 2-iodobenzylamines followed by copper-catalyzed cyclization, to form benzimidazolones and 3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2(1H)-ones. This work shows that O-isocyanates can serve as efficient building blocks for the synthesis of hydroxylamine-containing heterocycles.

With t-butyl hypochlorite the 1-methoxy-3-arylureas are easily converted into the unstable corresponding 1-chloro-1-methoxy-3-arylureas.Cyclization of the latter under basic conditions gives the 1-methoxy-2-benzimidazolinones.The two steps can be carried
