A very mild and efficient approach for the synthesis of ureas is described. Phenyl carbamates were used as intermediates for the preparation of N,N'- substituted ureas. The carbamates were treated with an approximate stoichiometric amount of amine in dimethyl sulfoxide at ambient temperature, generating the ureas in high yield. The reaction was simple, safe, fast, inexpensive, and amenable to large scale production of the product.
