“…The chemical structures of the new compounds were elucidated using microanalytical and spectral data (IR, 1 H, 13 C NMR, MS). 2-Phenylacetyl isothiocyanate (1) was utilized as a key starting material and treated with different aliphatic, heterocyclic, and/or aromatic amines, namely, isopropylamine, 2-aminothiazole, o -phenylenediamine, m -aminophenol, and o -chloro- p -nitroaniline, in acetonitrile at room temperature 91 to afford the corresponding thiourea derivatives 2a – e , respectively. IR spectra of 2a – e represented characteristic absorption bands at the regions 3370–3135, 1690–1660, and 1173–1146 cm –1 due to NH, C=O, and C=S groups, respectively.…”
