A convenient preparative synthetic route has been developed and N'-substituted nicotinoyl ureas have been obtained for the first time. Possible directions have been studied for their fragmentation under electron impact.Keywords: substituted nicotinoyl isocyanates, N-substituted amines and nicotinoyl ureas, mass spectra.We have synthesized highly reactive nicotinoyl isocyanates from amides of substituted nicotinic acids [1]. In view of the high pesticidal activity of certain substituted ureas [2,3] it seemed expedient to study the possibility of obtaining new substituted ureas from nicotinoyl isocyanates and certain aliphatic and aromatic amines and to investigate their structure and biological activity.Reaction was carried out in absolute benzene with an equimolar ratio of the initial isocyanate and amine according to the following scheme.
