Abstract
A simple and highly efficient synthesis of ω-substituted arylbiurets in a one-pot reaction from readily available starting materials offers an easy work-up procedure and good yields. ω-Substituted arylbiurets can be selectively prepared with an excess of potassium cyanate (KOCN), while an excess of glacial acetic acid (AcOH) switches the reaction towards the formation of N-monosubstituted urea.
