Formation of N-hydroxymethyl-N,N-diphenyl-
mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature.
The solvent and triethylsilanol were removed under
vacuum overnight to isolate 1-[(dimethylamino)-
methyl]-1,2-dimethylurea MeNH(C=O)NMeCH NMe
thiourea PhNH(C=S)NPhCH OH (11). A 0.05 g of

thiourea 8 was dissolved in 1 mL of dichloromethane
in a screw cap vial and left in the refrigerator for a

stable and does not undergo significant decomposition
even on heating at 45°C for 2 days. H NMR spectrum,

obtained as white crystals. Mechanical separation
permitted isolation of thiourea 11 which was subjected
to XRD analysis. H NMR spectrum, δ, ppm: 4.88 t

Reaction of 1-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-1,2-di-
phenylthiourea (8) with MeI. A 20 mL round-bottom
flask was charged with a solution of 0.24 g (1.27 mmol)

This research was supported by the Welch Foundation
overnight at room temperature. Excess of MeI (1 mL)
was then added with a syringe to the reaction mixture.
After 15 min of stirring, a white solid started to
precipitate, and the reaction mixture was further stirred
for 2 h. The solvent and triethylsilanol were removed
under vacuum. The white solid was treated twice with
