Hydrochloric Acid → 4-Ethoxyphenylthiourea

Participants

Reaction Steps

750 Parts of a 30% aqueous hydrochloric acid are placed into a reaction vessel, whereupon 822 parts of p-phenetidine, 479 parts of ammonium rhodanide and 31.2 parts of sodium hydrogenosulfite are introduced successively, while stirring. The reaction mixture is stirred for 15 hours at 80° C., thereafter for 8 hours at 95° C., and subsequently the precipitate having been formed is filtered off with suction, while hot, and washed with hot water until neutral. The dried product gives a yield of 1129 parts (corresponding to 96.0% of the theory) of p-ethoxyphenyl thiourea of the formula ##STR4## which product has a melting point of from 167° to 168° C.
