In the presence of trifluoroacetic acid, N-phenyl-N'-phenoxyurea (1a) rearranges to N-(4'-hydroxy-2-biphenylyl)urea (2a) and N-carbamoyl-2-hydroxy-diphenylamine (3a).The rearrangement is an intramolecular reaction, and the transition state of the breakage of the N-O bond is deduced to be polarized in the form Nδ+(*)Oδ+.
