Isobutyryl chloride → N-Carbamothioyl-2-methylpropanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Thiourea (152 g, 2 mol) was dissolved in toluene (1520 mL). To the solution was added isobutyryl chloride (213 g, 2 mol) under mechanical stirring. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 3 hours. TLC monitored the reaction. After the reaction completed, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered to remove insoluble solids. The filtrate was concentrated to dryness. The yellow solids were collected by filtration, washed with petroleum ether (100 mL×3) to appear white, dried in vacumm to give the desired product 11A (90 g, 30% yield) as a white solid (mp: 114˜116° C.).
