Abstract
In a practical one-pot synthesis of ureas, Boc-protected amines are transformed into nonsymmetrical and symmetrical disubstituted and trisubstituted ureas via in situ generation of isocyanates utilizing 2-chloropyridine and trifluoromethanesulfonyl anhydride. A variety of amines can be employed successfully, leading to high yields of isolated ureas.
