What is thiourea?

Thiourea is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH₄N₂S. It is structurally similar to urea but with sulfur instead of oxygen in the backbone. Thiourea is a white crystalline solid at room temperature, soluble in water, and has a characteristic odor similar to that of ammonia.

Thiourea has several important chemical properties:

Weakly Acidic: Thiourea can undergo partial hydrolysis in water, releasing a proton and acting as a weak acid.

Versatile Reactivity: It can participate in various chemical reactions, including complexation, oxidation, reduction, and coordination chemistry.

Toxicity: Thiourea is toxic when ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin, and it requires careful handling.

Thiourea finds applications in a range of industries, including photography, textiles, mineral, metal finishing, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and polymer production, due to its diverse chemical properties. However, its use requires caution and adherence to safety protocols due to its potential toxicity.
