because they can be made to include the structural features of various urea-based drugs and are readily attached to drug-polymer conjugate systems as Diels-Alder adducts. Here, a method of converting mono-, di-, and tri-substituted ureas to their corresponding hydroxyguanidines through a thionated intermediate is described. Thionation of each urea was carried out using 2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane-2,4-disulfide (Lawesson’s reagent) under microwave conditions. Several methods
