The first aryliodide catalyzed intramolecular C–H amination of phenylurea has been disclosed for high-efficiency synthesis of benzimidazolone derivatives in excellent yields (up to 97%) by an operationally simple one-step organocatalytic oxidative process. Fluorinated protic alcohols can efficiently accelerate the conversion of this transformation. The straightforward method has good functional group

Treatment of N′-aryl urea derivatives of enantiomerically enriched α-(2-pyridyl) and α-(3-pyridyl)alkylamines with a base leads to the migration of the N′-aryl substituent from N to C in a ‘nonclassical’ intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction. Both electron-rich and -poor rings migrate successfully. A new quaternary stereogenic center is formed adjacent to the pyridine ring with
