Di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP)-mediated synthesis of symmetrical N,N′-disubstituted urea/thiourea motifs from isothiocyanates in water

A direct approach to N,N′-disubstituted urea/thiourea from the self-condensation reactions of isothiocyanates in water has been developed. This access tolerated a wide range of functional groups on...
