Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Salicylaldehyde was added dropwise over 5 min. to a solution of thiosemicarbazide (5.47 g, 60 mmol) in 75 mL water maintained at 75° C. A white solid began to precipitate immediately. The resulting mixture was heated to reflux for 2 hours, then cooled to room temperature and filtered to give salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (11.5 g, 98%) as a white crystalline solid.
