A three-component coupling reaction of alcohols or thiols with N,N-dibromoarylsulfonamides and isonitrile and in the presence of K2CO3 provides both isoureas and isothioureas in very good yields. This metal-free process proceeds via carbodiimide intermediate at room temperature within a very short reaction time.
