Reaction Steps

A sample of p-aminobenzoic acid is dissolved in 3N HCl (20% by weight). To this is added about one equivalent of thiophosgene in a single portion. The reaction mixture is stirred until a white precipitate appears, the crude product is filtered, washed with water, and crystallized from acetone-water to give crude p-isothiocyanatobenzoic acid.
