| Aminoalcohols undergo W(CO)6-catalyzed oxidative carbonylation to the corresponding hydroxyalkylureas without protection of the hydroxyl group. Selected examples of 1,2-, 1,3-, 1,4- and 1,5-aminoalcohols were converted to the ureas in good to excellent yields, with only small amounts of the cyclic carbamates being formed. In contrast, stoichiometric reactions of the phosgene derivatives 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) and S,S'-dimethyl dithiocarbonate (DMDTC) with 1,3- and 1,2-aminoalcohol substrates exhibit variable selectivities between ureas and cyclic carbamates |
