Abstract

A convenient one-pot method for the conversion of phenylisocyanate into ortho-functionalized aniline derivatives has been developed. The reaction proceeds via the selective ortho-metalation of a transient labile urea, which can be considered as a synthetic equivalent of 2-lithiophenylisocyanate, a highly improbable intermediate.
