“…Acyl azides undergo thermal rearrangement in an inert solvents to give isocyanates (Curtius rearrangement), which on reaction with amines lead to the formation of ureas. 22,23,25,27 Thus, heating at reflux acyl azides 1, 16 It should be noted, that the yield and the reaction time are dependent on the number of halogen atoms and their position in an aryl amine ring, e.g., azide 1 reaction with 2,6-dichloroaniline occurred within 4 h, while it needs only 2 h in the other cases. In addition, urea 19 is obtained in a lower yield (53%), and 2,4,6-trichloroaniline did not react with azide 1 under given conditions.…”
