Abstract

A divergent visible-light-induced Ph₃P-promoted method for the synthesis of ureas and formamides from amines and CO₂ is reported. Without external additions, a range of ureas could be directly accessed under ambient temperature and pressure. Using triisopropylsilanethiol as the hydrogen source, formamides could be produced.
