Thiourea

Thiourea are organic compounds having a carbon atom bonded to two amine groups. The key difference between urea and thiourea is that urea does not contain sulfur atoms, whereas thiourea contains sulfur atoms.

Thiourea, also chemically named as Thiocarbamide, is a nitrogen and sulfur containing compound. It has three functional. groups, amino, imino and thiol, each with important biological roles. 

Thiourea is used as an auxiliary agent in diazo paper, light-sensitive photocopy paper and almost all other types of copy paper. It is also used to tone silver-gelatin photographic prints.

Dosage

Thiourea, also called thiocarbamide, an organic compound that resembles urea (q.v.) but contains sulfur instead of oxygen; i.e., the molecular formula is CS(NH2)2, while that of urea is CO(NH2)2.

In thiourea, a double bond is present between the carbon and sulfur atom. So, it is an unsaturated compound. Hence, thiourea is an unsaturated compound.

Useful Area

Thiourea PRACT is a white crystalline solid, both naturally occurring and synthetic, that is soluble in water, ammonium thiocyanate solution and ethanol. In the past, it was used as a photographic toning agent, a component of hair preparations and a dry cleaning agent.

Industrial Usage
