Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The phenylthiourea (6.00 g, 32.16 mmol) was dissolved in CHCl3 (150 mL) and cooled to 0° C. with an ice bath. To this mixture was added a solution of Br2 (1.6 mL, 32.2 mmol) in CHCl3 (100 mL) dropwise over 30 min. After the addition, the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h, then allowed to warm to rt. the reaction was refluxed for 3 h to 4 h than allowed to cool to room temperature. The organic solvent was removed and the residue was washed with sulfurous acid. The residue was then neutralized with liquid ammonia. The solid was filtered off, washed with watyer and recrystallized from EtOH.
