Methyl iodide → HCID 178504034, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5.3 g (0.019 mole) of N-(4-chlorobenzhydryl)thiourea in 25 ml of methanol is treated with 2.64 g (0.019 mole) of methyl iodide and allowed to stir at room temperature overnight. The methanol is removed in vacuo to yield the crude pseudothiourea as an oil. The oily methyl N-(4-chlorobenzhydryl)carbamimidothioate hydroiodide is used in the next step without further purification.
