Dicyanamide reacts with thiol to produce thiourea and the corresponding alkene
Thread Content
I saw online that an example given for the quantitative synthesis of thiourea is the reaction between cyanamide and ethanethiol to produce thiourea and ethylene. What are the reaction conditions? Does the reaction take place under alkaline or acidic conditions? Under what conditions can the reaction be accelerated? Where can I find relevant literature?
Has the original poster calculated the cost-effectiveness? It is recommended that the original poster do some calculations
It’s just to demonstrate theoretical feasibility – it’s not that one really intends to do it
