Preparation: An Efficient Synthesis of
N,N‘-Disubstituted Ureas

A novel efficient synthesis of N,N‘-disubstituted
ureas has been developed. Aromatic and aliphatic primary
amines undergo oxidative carbonylation under atmospheric
pressure of carbon monoxide using Pd(II) catalyst in combination with its anodic recycling at a graphite electrode.
