Selective and environmentally friendly methodologies based on the use of electrochemistry for fine chemical preparation: an efficient synthesis of N,N'-disubstituted ureas.
A novel efficient synthesis of N,N'-disubstituted ureas has been developed. Aromatic and aliphatic primary amines undergo oxidative carbonylation under atmospheric pressure of carbon monoxide using Pd(II) catalyst in combination with its anodic recycling at a graphite electrode.
