Already a thread for this: http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=16132#...

yes i saw that but he discovered its ammonium nitrate so i have no use of that topic...

Couldn't find anything with Google? What a joke!:D

I searched with the words synthesis, urea and flask and got 909,000 hits, many of which on the first page looked like interesting syntheses, for example the anticonvulsant dilantin.

calm down.. i tought would get better ideas here.....

My bad, I thought that thread actually listed some uses regardless. Must have been hallucinating.

So how about this as a start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea#Uses ?

At least might send you in an interesting direction for further investigation.

As for how touchy people get about not UTFSE, I don't always get it either, but it's just the way things roll here. There is a lot of content, and I can understand not wanting to have 12 copies of everything. But it is a bit rough on the newbies, IMHO (being a newbie!)

This is quite a hot topic:
http://www.google.com/search?q=urea+inclusion+compounds
But probably only interesting if you have a good X-ray source.

PARABANIC ACID, guanidine and hydrazine. Have fun.

There are those who can't be bothered to answer a simple question but somehow motivate themselves to go out of their way to do a google search, check the 'hit' count, and think of some clever things to say. Nice!

Anyway, hydrazine would probably be my first consideration. There are existing threads for hydrazine synthesis. You might also skim through some patents for urea-based ammonia on demand generators. Just a though but don't trust every patent you come across. Some are phony.

Then there's always the intended use.... fertilizer! :D
