Abstract
Ortho- and para-Phenylenediamines were desymmetrised and quantitatively transformed into mono- and bis-(thio)ureas or mixed thiourea–ureas through a one-pot mechanochemical click reaction sequence; mechanochemical desymmetrisation proceeds quantitatively without excess reagents and allows the controlled extension of a molecular structure by combining normally competing reactions.
