Methyl isothiocyanate → Thiourea, N-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-N'-methyl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

130 g of 2,6-dichloro-aniline, 100 g of methyl isothiocyanate and 300 ml of 95% ethanol are refluxed during 14 hours, with stirring. The resulting solution is cooled in the freezer: the white solid formed is filtered and washed with isopropyl oxide. After recrystallization from isopropanol, 65 g of product (III : R = CH3), m.p. = 184° C, are collected.
