Herein, we report a new method of synthesis of N-acylureas (E1-5) via reaction of dibenzoylhydrazine carboxamide (N,2-bis(4-methoxybenzoyl)hydrazine-1-carboxamide) (C) and various benzylamines. Preparation of dibenzoylhydrazine carboxamide was performed by the treatment of 5,6-diaryl-3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazine (B) with Oxone which leads to oxidation and triazine ring cleavage in high yield (82%). Five benzylamine derivatives containing different electron donating and withdrawing substituents were used in this study. Yields for the conversion of dibenzoylhydrazine carboxamide (C) to N-acylureas (E1-5) were in the range of 40-55%. The structures of the intermediates and final products were characterized and confirmed by NMR, mass spectrometry and single-crystal X-ray crystallography.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
