Phenylhydrazine → N-(2-Methoxyethyl)-2-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

In benzene was dissolved 11.7 g of 2-methoxyethyl isothiocyanate with stirring and after adding thereto 11.9 g of phenylhydrazine at room temperature, the mixture was heat-refluxed. After performing the reaction for 6 hours, the reaction mixture was cooled and crystals thus formed were collected by filtration. The yield for the product was 66.7%. The product, 4-(2-methoxyethyl)-1-phenylthiosemicarbazide thus obtained could be used for the subsequent reaction without being purified.
