N-Ethylthiourea is a chemical compound with the formula of CHSCHN(SH)CO. It is a colorless liquid that is soluble in water, alcohols, and ethers. N-Ethylthiourea has been used as an analytical reagent in flow systems to measure the rate of reaction between carbonyl compounds and amines. The product, methylurea, can be analyzed by gas chromatography or high-performance liquid chromatography.
The following are some of the chemical reactions that occur when N-ethylthiourea is exposed to carbonyl compounds:
1) CHSCHN(SH)CO + RCHO = RCONHCHSCHN(SH)CO + HCHO
2) CHSCHN(SH)CO + RCHO = RCONHSCHR + HCHO
3) CHSCHN(SH)CO + RCHO = RCOR'NH
