Reaction Steps

7-Amino-benzo[b]furan is reacted with thiophosgene in 3 N hydrochloric acid at room temperature over 1 hour to give 7-isothiocyanatobenzo[b]furan. (M.Pt. 45°-46° from petroleum ether.) Reaction of this isothiocyanate with ethanolamine in ether gives N-benzo[b]furan-7-yl-N'-2-hydroxyethylthiourea (m.pt. 138°-139° from methanol) which is used further in the crude state.
