A process for making 1,3-disubstituted-4-oxocyclic ureas of general formula (I): wherein R1, R2, and R3 are independently selected from the group consisting of nil, Cl, F, Br, NH2, NO2, COOH, CH3SO2NH, SO3H, OH, alkoxy, alkyl, alkoxycarbon hydroxyalkyl, carboxyalkyl, and acyloxy; R4 is selected from the group consisting of a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkenyl alkynyl, alkylacyl, and heteroalkyl; and A is a substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated, straight-chain or branched alkyl or alkenyl amino group comprised of 1-7 carbon atoms; or A is a substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated heterocycle having 5, 6, or 7 members containing at least one nitrogen, and R4 is attached to this nitrogen; wherein said 1,3-disubstituted tuted-4-oxocyclic urea is made without isolation of intermediates and comprising the steps: (Ia) reacting a l-substituted-4-oxocyclic urea with a carbon chain containing at least two leaving groups in the presence of a mild base and a solvent to form an adduct containing at least one leaving group, and (Ib) condensing the adduct with an amine to form a 1,3-disubstituted-4-oxocyclic urea, and (II) recovering said 1-3-disubstituted-4-oxocyclic urea, are disclosed. This method is particularly preferred for making [[[5-(4-Chlorophenyl)2-furanyl]methylene]amino]-3-[4-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)butyl)-2,4-imidazolidinedione.
