Thiourea, also known as thiocarbamide, is a colorless and water-soluble organic compound. In scientific applications, thiourea is utilized as a reagent in organic synthesis, playing a role as a catalyst for the synthesis of organic compounds. It also acts as a reducing agent in the synthesis of inorganic compounds. Thiourea exhibits nucleophilic properties, allowing it to react with electrophiles like carbonyl compounds and halides. This reaction yields thiourea derivatives that can further participate in subsequent reactions with other compounds. Thiourea can function as a reducing agent, effectively converting aldehydes and ketones into alcohols.
