Abstract

A novel electrochemical method of preparing ureides from esters was developed. Commercially available barbiturates such as barbital (2), allobarbital (3), phenobarbital (5) and pentobarbital (6), along with some other barbiturates and non-cyclic ureides were successfully prepared in N, N-dimethylformamide at room temperature.
