A tandem synthesis of unsymmetrical ureas (N-aryl-N′-pyridylurea andN,N′-bipyridylurea) from aryl- or pyridyl carboxamides and aminopyridinesviaHofmann rearrangement has been reported. In particular, benzamides, picolinamide, nicotinamide, and isonicotinamide generate reactive intermediate isocyanates,in situ, in the presence of PhI(OAc)2, which upon further reaction with aminopyridines form urea derivatives. As the formation of pyridylisocyanates from their corresponding carboxamidesviaHofmann rearrangement remained unexplored previously, attempts have been made to trap the isocyanates. While the three pyridylisocyanates were trapped as their corresponding carbamates, 3-pyridylisocyanate was isolated and characterized. Unlike closely related previous methods reported for urea synthesis, the current method avoids direct use of isocyanates or eliminates the use of toxic phosgene for thein situgeneration of isocyanates.

An efficient method for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl chlorides and triflates with sodium cyanate is reported. The protocol allows for the synthesis of unsymmetrical N,N'-di- and N,N,N'-trisubstituted ureas in one pot and is tolerant of a wide range of functional groups. Insight into the mechanism of aryl isocyanate formation was gleaned through studies of the transmetalation and reductive elimination steps of the reaction, including the first demonstration of reductive elimination from an arylpalladium isocyanate complex to produce an aryl isocyanate.
