Facile desulfurization of cyclic thioureas by hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid.
A simple, mild and synthetically useful method for the desulfurization of cyclic thioureas and related compounds, existing as thiol-thione tautomeric mixtures, by hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid is proposed. The effect of substituting different solvents for the acetic acid was investigated.
