Abstract

A palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of urea derivatives with aryl iodides and bromides afforded N-benzoyl ureas in very good yields using near-stoichiometric amounts of carbon monoxide generated from the decarbonylation of 9-methylfluorene-9-carbonyl chloride as CO precursor. The synthetic protocol displayed good functional group tolerance. The methodology is also highly suitable for 13C isotope labeling.

Note

Release of carbon monoxide from COgen at temperatures higher than 50°C can be performed using both P(tBu)3 or the air stable precursor HBF4P(tBu)3 as ligand without change in results.
