Acetylthiourea has a wide range of applications in various sectors. Thiourea has various applications, such as being a source of sulphide, used as precursors to pyrimidine derivatives, preparation of the pharmaceuticals, thiobarbituric acid and sulfathiazole. Additional applications involve the production of flame retardant resins, and vulcanization accelerators. Acetyl thiourea chitosan polymer (ATUCS) has been manufactured and evaluated as a corrosion inhibitor. This reagent is suitable for the synthesis of various compounds in industrial processes and it can also be used in research applications.
