A new class of arylsulfonylcarbamoyl-1,3-cyclohexanediones and arylsulfonylcarbamoyl-1,3-dicarbonylacyclic compounds are disclosed. These substances have hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic properties and are of value in controlling abnormal blood sugar levels. The arylsulfonylcarbamoyl derivatives of 1,3-dicarbonylalicyclic and acyclic compounds are prepared by reacting an arylsulfonylisocyanate with a 1,3-dicarbonylalicyclic or acyclic reactant. Typical embodiments are 2-(N-p-chlorobenzenesulfonylcarbamoyl)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione and 5-(1-ethylpropyl)-2-(N-p-chlorobenzenesulfonylcarbamoyl)-1,3-cyclohexa nedione.
