In this contribution, a fast and simple method for the synthesis of unsymmetrical urea derivatives and N-arylmethyl-2-substituted benzimidazoles was developed starting from nitroarenes. The reaction of nitroarenes and phenyl isocyanate or phenyl isothiocyanate in tin (II) chloride dihydrate/choline chloride eutectic mixture afforded the expected urea and thiourea derivatives, while the reaction of different aldehydes with o-nitroaniline or 4-methoxy-2-nitroaniline shows a markedly high preference for the obtention of N-arylmethyl-2-substituted benzimidazoles over the 2-substituted analogues. This method offers a straightforward alternative to obtain the target compounds in good to excellent yields with short reaction times employing an operationally simple experimental set-up. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.] A series of unsymmetrical urea and thiourea derivatives together with 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles are easily obtained in good yields starting from nitroarenes employing the eutectic mixture tin (II) chloride dihydrate/choline chloride as reductive reaction media.

Triclocarban (TCC), a broad-spectrum lipophilic antimicrobial agent, is a diarylurea derivative that has been used for more than 60 years as a major ingredient of toys, clothing, food packaging materials, food industry floors, medical supplies and especially of personal care products, such as soaps, toothpaste and shampoo. In September 2016, the U.S. FDA banned nineteen antimicrobial ingredients, including TCC, in over-the-counter consumer antiseptic wash products, due to their toxicity. Withdrawal of TCC has prompted efforts to search for new antimicrobial compounds. In this paper, we present the synthesis and biological evaluation, as antibiotic and non-cytotoxic agents, of a series of diarylureas, analogues of TCC. These compounds are characterized by an intriguingly simple chemistry and can be easily synthesized. Among the synthesized compounds, 1ab and 1bc emerge as the most interesting compounds as they show the same activity of TCC (MIC = 16 μg/mL) against Staphylococcus aureus, and a higher activity than TCC against Enterococcus faecalis (MIC = 32 μg/mL versus MIC = 64 μg/mL). Moreover, 1ab and 1bc show no cytotoxicity towards the human mammary epithelial cells MCF-10A and embryonic kidney epithelial cells Hek-293, in opposition to TCC, which exhibits a marked cytotoxicity on the same cell lines and shows a good antitumor activity on a panel of cell lines tested.

Paragraph 0022-0024; 0026, (2019/06/07)
The invention relates to a synthetic method of a urea compound, comprising the following steps: adding substituted oxazolone and sodium acetate into a methanol solution, and adding substituted amine under the stirring condition, reacting and carrying out column chromatography to obtain the urea compound. The defect that dangerous compounds need to be used during existing synthetic process is overcome, and a one-pot method is adopted to replace an existing reaction with low yield. The method of the invention has mild reaction condition, the operation is simple, raw materials are easily available, and the substrate can be converted into various other useful molecules. The compound has strong practicality, and can be applied to synthesis of the pesticide daimuron, dieresis long and the anti-cancer drug Sorafenib. The invention relates to a green and environmentally-friendly unsymmetrical urea compound synthesis method with simple process and low cost.
