Abstract
A series of phenylallyl-substituted unsymmetrical ureas were synthesized in a one-pot procedure by reactions of cinnamoyl isocyanate, which was prepared from cinnamoyl azide by Curtius rearrangement, with various aromatic amines, 2-amino-5-aryl-1,3,4-thiadiazoles and 2-amino-5-aryloxymethylene-1,3,4-thiadiazoles under microwave irradiation. Compared to conventional methods, this synthesis has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, easy handling, and high yields. The products have been characterized by analytical and spectral (IR and 1H NMR) data.
