A convenient access to dihydroxybenzenethiols via reduction of iso-thiouronium salts with sodium borohydride

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919408012622

An improved procedure for the preparation of unstable dihydroxybenzenethiols in high yields is reported, involving mild reduction of the corresponding iso-thiouronium salts with sodium borohydride.
