Abstract A new monoxanthen‒9‒yl derivative of urea has been synthesized and the structure of this product (N‒9 H‒xanthen‒9‒ylurea) and that of the previously known N, N′‒di‒9 H‒xanthen‒9‒ylurea have been proved by 15 N NMR and other spectroscopic techniques. A series of 13 C and 15 N labeled urea derivatives has been prepared and the utility of their 13 C and 15 N chemical shifts and coupling constants in the structural ...
