Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 4-[(aminocarbothioyl)amino]butanoate (176.24 mg; 1.00 mmol; 1.00 eq.) (prepared from methyl 3-aminobutanoate, hydrochloride salt (Fluka), following procedure D) is dissolved in MeOH (10.00 ml). Hydrazine hydrate (2.97 ml; 48.89 mmol; 48.89 eq.) is added. The reaction mixture is stirred 5 hours under reflux and overnight at RT. Solvents are evaporated. The resulting oil is dissolved in MeOH and EtOH is added. A white product precipitates. It is filtrated and washed with EtOH, affording N-(4-hydrazino-4-oxobutyl)thiourea (128.5 mg; 72.91%). HPLC, Rt: 6.50 min (purity: 86.9%).
