1-Methyl-3-phenylurea

1-Methyl-3-phenylurea belongs to the class of organic compounds known as N-phenylureas. N-phenylureas are compounds containing a N-phenylurea moiety, which is structurally characterized by a phenyl group linked to one nitrogen atom of a urea group. 1-Methyl-3-phenylurea exists as a white powder and is one of two isomers of methylphenyurea, the other one being 1-methyl-1-phenylurea. Methylphenylureas are found in marijuana (cannabis) smoke. 1-Methyl-3-phenylurea is formed during the combustion of cannabis and is therefore a constituent of cannabis smoke (https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-59259-947-9_2).
