Urea and Its Derivatives Rule C-971

971.2 - Derivatives of urea formed by replacement of hydrogen are named (a) as substitution products of urea or (b), if the substituent carries also a group to be cited as principal group, by use of the prefix "ureido-" for the group NH2-CO-NH-. If necessary, locants N and N' or 1 and 3, respectively, are added; the point of attachment of a ureido radical is denoted N or 1.

Examples to Rule C-971.2

(a) N,N'-Dimethylurea
or 1,3-Dimethylurea

(a) N,N-Diethylurea
or 1,1 -Diethylurea

(a) N-Acetyl-N-phenylurea
or 1-Acetyl-1-phenylurea

(a) Isopropylideneurea

(b) 2-(N'-Methylureido)-1-naphthoic acid
or 2-(3-Methylureido)-1-naphthoic acid

Allophanic acid

Hydantoic acid

Allophanoyl

971.3 - The bivalent radical -NH-CO-NH- is named "ureylene" and is used in nomenclature for assemblies of identical units (see Subsection C-0.7) when the terminal nitrogen atoms are attached to radicals carrying the same group to be cited as a suffix, but it is not used for compounds in which the -NH-CO-NH- group forms part of a ring (for example, not for barbituric acid).

Example to Rule C-971.3

4,4'-Ureylenedi-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid
