A convenient and efficient method for the synthesis of mono- and N,N-disubstituted thioureas
A convenient method for the synthesis of mono- and N,N-disubstituted thioureas by the debenzoylation of N-substituted- and N,N-disubstituted- N′-benzoylthioureas with hydrazine hydrate under solvent-free conditions has been developed. N-Substituted-N′-benzoylthioureas and hydrazine hydrate were mixed, and stirred at room temperature without a solvent to give the corresponding N-substituted thioureas in high yields.
