“…Although the equation indicates that theoretically two moles of amine should be used per mole of carbon disulfide, it is usually wise to use an excess of the latter in view of its high volatility. Alcohol (7,118,178,184,201,216) or benzene may be used in the reaction as solvent for the starting materials or to raise the reaction temperature. A commercial synthesis for 1,3-diarylthioureas in which the reaction is carried out in a partial vapor phase without solvent has also been patented (140).…”
