An unprecedented protocol for urea synthesis directly from methanol and amine was accomplished. The reaction is highly atom-economical, producing hydrogen as the sole byproduct. Commercially available ruthenium pincer complexes were used as catalysts. In addition, no additive, such as a base, oxidant, or hydrogen acceptor, was required. Furthermore, unsymmetrical urea derivatives were successfully obtained via a one-pot, two-step reaction
