Scheme 3. Sulphonyl urea synthesis.

Scheme 3.

Sulphonyl ureas are commonly synthesised via one of the two routes: (a) from the primary amines by the phosgene-mediated formation of an isocyanate followed by nucleophilic attack of a primary sulphonamide or (b) reaction of a primary sulphonamide with a chloroformate then nucleophilic substitution using a primary amine
