1,3-bis(4-nitrophenyl)urea (1) interacts through hydrogen bonding with a variety of oxoanions in an MeCN solution to give bright yellow 1:1 complexes, whose stability decreases with the decreasing basicity of the anion (CH 3COO- > C6H5COO- > H2PO4- > NO2- > HSO4- > NO3-). The [Bu 4N][1·CH3COO] complex salt has been isolated as a crystalline solid and its molecular structure determined, showing the formation of a discrete adduct held together by two N-H...O hydrogen bonds of moderate strength. On the other hand, the F- ion first establishes a hydrogen-bonding interaction with 1 to give the most stable 1:1 complex, and then on addition of a second equivalent, induces urea deprotonation, due to the formation of HF2-. The orange-red deprotonated urea solution uptakes carbon dioxide from air to give the tetrabutylammonium salt of the hydrogencarbonate H-bond complex, [Bu4N][1·HCO 3], whose crystal and molecular structures have been determined.

Transformation of CO2 into valuable organic compounds catalysed by cheap and biocompatible metal catalysts is one of important topics of current organic synthesis and catalysis. Herein, we report the zinc powder catalysed formylation and urealation of amines with CO2 and (EtO)3SiH under solvent free condition. Using 2 molpercent zinc powder as the catalyst, a series of secondary amines, both the aromatic ones and the aliphatic ones, can be formylated into formamides. When primary aromatic amines were used as the substrates, the reactions produce urea derivatives. The electronic and steric effects from the substrates on the formylation and urealation reactions were observed and discussed. The recovery and reusability of zinc powder were investigated, showing the zinc powder can be reused in the formylation reaction without loss of catalytic activity. The analysis on the reactants/products mixture after filtering out the zinc powder showed the zinc concentration in the mixture is low to 1 ppm. The pathways for the formylation and urealation of amines with this catalytic system were also investigated, and related to the different substrates.

Paragraph 0036-0040, (2020/05/30)
The invention discloses a preparation method of a symmetric urea compound, which comprises the following steps: by using a hydroxamic acid compound as a raw material, sequentially adding an alkali anda solvent, reacting at 25-50 DEG C for 1-7 hours in an SO2F2 atmosphere, and carrying out aftertreatment on the reaction solution to obtain the symmetric urea compound. According to the invention, cheap, easily available and environment-friendly SO2F2 is used as an accelerant to efficiently promote the generation of an isocyanate intermediate to form a C-N bond. The generation of isocyanate avoids the use of a large amount of halogen or azide dangerous reagents, so that the compound can be used as a green substitute for standard treatment conditions in Curtius rearrangement and Hofmann rearrangement reactions. The amine source in the final product only comes from hydroxylamine, and no additional amine needs to be added, so that the substrate is wide in applicability, and the correspondingsymmetric urea compound can be obtained at a relatively good yield. The operation process is simple, the aftertreatment only needs filtering, and the method is suitable for large-scale preparation.
