Abstract
The reaction of N-acylbenzotriazoles with diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA) as a suitable azide donor followed by amines or amides or phenols or thiols in anhydrous toluene at 110°C for 3-4 hours provides a diverse range of ureas, N-acylureas, carbamates, and thiocarbamates in very good yields. DPPA was found to be a good alternative to trimethylsilyl azide and sodium azide for the Curtius degradation.
