An improved procedure for the preparation of arylthioureas consists of the reaction of benzoyl isothiocyanate with anilines in acetone and debenzoylation of the resultant N-aryl-N′-benzoylthioureas with 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide. Bicycloalkylthioureas and N-(arylalkyl)thioureas (e.g., 9H-9-fluorenylthiourea) are directly prepared from the corresponding isothiocyanates and ammonia.
