A new method for the preparation of chromone-3-sulfonyl urea derivativ
es 20 and 22, starting with the enaminones 18 and 21, chlorosulfonyl i
socyanate and 4-chloroaniline is described. Beyond that, reaction of s
ulfonamide 8 with phenyl isocyanate furnishes the chromone-3-sulfonyl
urea 17. Atempts to prepare sulfonyl ureas from the carbamates 9-12, d
erived from the sulfonamide 8, were not successful.
