Yg. Chang et al., A convenient synthesis of symmetrical N,N '-dialkylureas by the reactions of 4-chloro-5H-1,2,3-dithiazol-5-one with alkylamines, TETRAHEDR L, 42(46), 2001, pp. 8197-8200
Treatment of 4-chloro-5H-1,2,3-dithiazol-5-one with primary and secondary a
lkylamines (>2 equiv.) in CH2Cl2, at rt afforded symmetrical N,N'-disubstit
uted ureas in moderate to good yields. Similarly, the reactions with amino
acid ester hydrochlorides in the presence of Et3N (>3 equiv.) under the sam
e conditions gave symmetrical ureas. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rig
