Abstract: N 1>-Phenylsulfonyl-N 2>-(pyrimidinyl or triazinyl)-urea derivatives are produced from phenylsulfonyl halides by ammonolysis, reaction of the resulting phenylsulfonamides with phosgene and condensation of the phenylsulfonyl isocyanates obtained with an aminopyrimidine or aminotriazole; selected solvent mixtures are used for the ammonolysis and/or condensation. Production of N 1>-phenylsulfonyl-N 2>-(pyrimidinyl or triazinyl)-urea derivatives comprises: (a) ammonolysis of a phenylsulfonyl halide (II) with ammonia, preferably (a1) in a solvent mixture comprising a 20:1 to 1:1, preferably 10:1-1.4:1, by weight mixture of optionally halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon(s) and polar aprotic solvent(s); (b) reaction of the resulting phenylsulfonamide (III) (with or without isolation) with phosgene, preferably (b1) in an organic solvent in the presence of a catalyst comprising isocyanate(s) of the formula R'-NCO (R = optionally substituted hydrocarbyl) and optionally a co-catalyst comprising an amine base; and (c) condensation of the phenylsulfonyl isocyanate (IV) obtained (with or without isolation) with an aminopyrimidine or aminotriazole (V) in an organic solvent; preferably (c1) in a solvent mixture comprising an optionally halogenated hydrocarbon of b.pt. above 110[deg]C and a polar aprotic solvent; provided that steps (a) and/or (c ) are carried out according to (a1) and/or (c1), respectively.
