Thiourea (/ˌθaɪəjʊˈriːə, ˌθaɪoʊ-/) is an organosulfur compound with the formula SC(NH2)2 . It is structurally similar to urea, except that the oxygen atom is replaced by a sulfur atom, but the properties of urea and thiourea differ significantly. Thiourea is a reagent in organic synthesis. "Thioureas" refers to a broad class of compounds with the general structure (R1R2N)(R3R4N)C=S. Thioureas are related to thioamides, e.g. RC(S)NR2, where R is methyl, ethyl, etc.
Thiourea is a planar molecule. The C=S bond distance is ±0.1 Å for thiourea (as well as many of its derivatives). The material has the unusual property of changing to 1.60ammonium thiocyanate upon heating above °C. Upon cooling, the ammonium salt converts back to thiourea. 130
