Acetone → n-[(2,6-dimethylphenyl)carbamothioyl]benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 51.0 g. (0.68 mole) of ammonium thiocyanate in 300 ml. acetone is added 86.8 g. (0.62 mole) of benzoyl chloride. The reaction mixture is refluxed for about 5 min. and then 81 g. (0.62 mole) of 2,6-dimethylaniline in 200 ml. acetone is added at a rate to maintain reflux. The mixture is refluxed for 11/2 hours, cooled, poured into 11/2 liters of ice and water, filtered to obtain 1-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-3-benzoylthiourea.
