Alkyl and aryl
isothiocyanates react with thiourea in the presence of alkali to yield
S-(N-substituted thiocarbamyl)isothioureas. The
products are identified by their chemical and mass spectral characteristics.These compounds yield
5-imino-2-alkyl(or ary1)imino-1,3,4-dithiazolidine salts when oxidized in acid
medium. The parent compounds are regenerated from these dithiazolidines
on reduction with hydrogen sulphide.� Condensation of isothiocyanates with amidinothiourea and aryl amidinothioureas
on the other hand yields 1-alkyl(or
aryl)-4,6-diiminohexahydro-1,3,5-triazine-2-thiones and 1-alkyl(or
ary1)-4-arylimino-6-iminohexahydro-1,3,5-triazine-2-thione respectively.Plausible mechanisms for
these reactions are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
