Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Unsymmetrical N,N′-diarylureas may be alkylated regioselectively at the more sterically congested nitrogen atom. The resulting mono-N-alkylated ureas undergo directed metalation (ortholithiation) with sec-BuLi to yield, on electrophilic quench, products functionalized regioselectively at the ring bearing the alkylated nitrogen atom. © 2005 American Chemical Society.
