We report a new electrochemical supporting-electrolyte-free method for synthesizing ureas, carbamates, and thiocarbamates via the oxidation of oxamic acids. This simple, practical, and phosgene-free route includes the generation of an isocyanate intermediate in situ via anodic decarboxylation of an oxamic acid in the presence of an organic base, followed by the one-pot addition of suitable nucleophiles to afford the corresponding ureas, carbamates, and thiocarbamates. This procedure is applicable to different amines, alcohols, and thiols. Furthermore, when single-pass continuous electrochemical flow conditions were used and this reaction was run in a carbon graphite Cgr/Cgr flow cell, urea compounds could be obtained in high yields within a residence time of 6 min, unlocking access to substrates that were inaccessible under batch conditions while being easily scalable.
Discovery of uracil derivatives as potent inhibitors of Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase

Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase (FAAH) is an intracellular serine enzyme involved in the biological degradation of the fatty acid ethanolamide family of signaling lipids, which exerts neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties. In the present study, a conjugated 2,4-dioxo-pyrimidine-1-carboxamide scaffold was confirmed as a novel template for FAAH inhibitors, based on which, a series of analogues had been prepared for an initial structure-activity relationship (SAR) study. Most of the synthesized compounds displayed moderate to significant FAAH inhibitory potency. Among them, compounds 11 and 14 showed better activity than others, with IC50 values of 21 and 53 nM. SAR analysis indicated that 2,4-dioxopyrimidine-1-carboxamides represented a novel class of potent inhibitors of FAAH, and substitution at the uracil ring or replacement of the N-terminal group might favor the inhibitory potency. Selected compounds of this class may be used as useful parent molecules for further investigation.

Mild reaction conditions for the regioselective synthesis of isoquinolin-1-ones and related fused-ring heterocycles from N-Boc-protected (β-arylethyl)carbamates are described. The reactions involved the use of Tf2O and 2-chloropyridine and isocyanates are likely to be key intermediates. The method was extended to substrates bearing less nucleophilic aryl moieties by using Lewis acid additives, such as BF3· Et2O, to enhance the Friedel-Crafts-type cyclization of the isocyanate intermediates. This method allowed the synthesis of various substituted isoquinolin-1-ones, β-carbolines, thiophene-fused ring systems and tetrahydrobenzoazepin-1-ones in good yields and with high regioselectivities.
