N,N'-Diphenylurea Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

solid

Definition

ChEBI: A member of the class of ureas that is urea in which one of the hydrogens of both amino groups is replaced by a phenyl group. It is present in coconut milk (Cocos nucifera).

Production Methods

N,N'-Diphenylurea, carbanilide, can be produced in high yields by heating 2 mol of aniline with 1 mol of urea in glacial acetic acid.
