N-tert-Butyl-N-cyclopentylthiourea → Cyclopentylthiourea

The t-butyl-cyclopentylthiourea (3.70 g) was dissolved in concentrated HCl (46 mL). The dark yellow solution was set to a gentle reflux. After 40 min, the reaction mixture was allowed to cool. The volume was concentrated to approx. half under reduced pressure, cooled in ice and basified to pH 9.5 with solid and saturated NaHCO3. The product was extracted into EtOAc (3×), the combined EtOAc extracts were washed with H2O (2×) and brine (1×). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness to obtain the crude N-cyclopentylthiourea as a beige solid (2.46 g crude). Trituration of the crude material in hexane/EtOAc 95/5 provided, after filtration, the N-cyclopentylthiourea as a white solid (2.38; 90% yield).
