Substituted Ureas. Methods of Synthesis and Applications

Systematic data on the method of synthesis of ureas by the interaction of compounds containing the amino-group with organic isocyanates, of amines and alkyl halides with alkali metal cyanates, and of primary and secondary amines with phosgene, carbon dioxide, urea, or nitrourea and by the carbonylation of amines are presented. The reactions involving the alkylation of urea and its interaction with various compounds containing functional groups are considered. The advantages and disadvantages of various methods are noted. The principal and practical applications of substituted ureas, including their applications as additives to organic materials, are discussed.
