AI Article Synopsis

  • A new method has been created for easily making unsymmetrical urea derivatives using copper as a catalyst for coupling reactions between formamides and amines at room temperature.
  • This process allows for direct access to these derivatives, which are important in various chemical applications.
  • Additionally, the method is versatile enough to produce chiral urea derivatives, expanding its usefulness in synthesis.

Article Abstract

Direct access to unsymmetrical urea derivatives via copper catalysed C-H/N-H coupling of formamides with amines has been developed at room temperature. This protocol is also applied to the synthesis of chiral urea derivatives.
