“…As part of our ongoing research on Zn metal for organic synthesis, our group has developed various transformations, including N-alkylation of amine, [21] thiol ester synthesis, [22] acylation of ylides, [23] N-sulfonylation of amines, [24] syntheses of substituted benzoxazole, [25] Friedel-crafts acylation, [26] amide formation, [27] synthesis of carbamate, [27,28] synthesis of thiourea, [29] and S-alkylation. [30] Recently our group has reported a protocol for unsymmetrical urea synthesis by using carbamoyl chloride.…”
