Abstract

Cs2CO3-catalyzed transamination of primary amines and ethylene carbonate proceeds to form 1,3-disubstituted symmetrical/unsymmetrical ureas in excellent yields. The effect of different reaction parameters such as influences of bases, temperature, and reaction time were investigated for the title reaction.

Notes

a Yields refer to isolated pure products characterized by IR, GC-MS, and 1H NMR.

Notes. Reaction conditions: butyl amine: 20 mmol, ethylene carbonate: 10 mmol; temp.: 90 °C, base: 0.2 mmol, and time: 20 min.

a Yields refer to isolated pure products characterized by IR, GC-MS, and 1H NMR.

Notes. Reaction conditions: amine: 20 mmol, ethylene carbonate: 10 mmol, Cs2CO3: 0.2 mmol.

a Yields are based on GC analysis.

Notes. Reaction conditions: ethylene carbonate (10 mmol) was reacted with amine (1; 10 mmol) at 70 °C for 1 h, and then the formed 2-hydroxycarbamate was reacted with amine (4; 10 mmol) at 100 °C for 30 min using 0.2 mmol Cs2CO3.
