A General Method for the Solid-Phase Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Tri-and Tetrasubstituted Ureas

摘要

A general method for the preparation of unsymmetrical di, tri-, and tetrasubstituted ureas on polymer supports is presented. Polymer-bound primary and secondary amines react with imidazolium salts (urea donors), which are generated from the reaction of N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) with primary and secondary amines followed by alkylation with MeI to give tri- and tetrasubstituted ureas in excellent yields (76-98%) and purities (80-99%).
