Abstract
Abstract There is described a process for producing sulfonylureas of the formula ##STR1## wherein G is an unsubstituted or substituted furanyl, thienyl, pyrrolyl, pyridinyl or phenyl radical, X is alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, halogen, haloalkoxy, alkylamino or dialkylamino, Y is alkyl, alkoxy or haloalkoxy, Z is a nitrogen atom or the methyne group --CH═. This novel process comprises reacting a sulfonamide of the formula G--SO.sub.2 --NH.sub.2, in the presence of a base, with a chloroformic acid ester of the formula Cl--CO--Q--T, or a sulfonyl chloride of the formula G--SO.sub.2 Cl, in the presence of a base, with a urethane of the formula H.sub.2 N--CO--Q--T; and converting the formed carbamate of the formula G--SO.sub.2 --NH--CO--Q--T by reaction with an amine of the formula ##STR2## into the sulfonylurea of the above formula. There is also described novel sulfonylcarbamates of the above formula as intermediates.
