Into a 200 ml autoclave equipped with a magnetic stirrer were introduced 5.6 g of nitrobenzene, 7.8 g of aniline, 27 ml of toluene, 6.3 g of N,N,N',N'-tetramethylurea (referred to hereafter as TMU), and 20 mg of Ru3 (CO)12. Thereafter the atmosphere within the system was changed to one of carbon monoxide, within was set at a pressure of 50 kg/cm2. Subsequently the reaction was carried out at 160° C. for 2 hours, with continuous stirring. After completion of the reaction, the system was cooled to room temperature, and following gas evacuation, the reaction liquor was filtered and 3.5 g of N,N'-diphenyl urea crystals obtained. The filtrate was analyzed by gas chromatography and high speed liquid chromatography, and found to contain 0.1 g of N,N'-diphenyl urea and 2.9 g of nitrobenzene. This indicated that the TOF (Turn Over Frequency) of N,N'-diphenyl urea production was 100 h-1 based on catalyst metal atoms, and the selectivity based on nitrobenzene was 94%.
