Thiocarbanilide

Thiocarbanilide is an organic chemical compound with the formula (C6H5NH)2CS.

It is prepared by the reaction of aniline and carbon disulfide.

Thiocarbanilide is commonly used as a vulcanization accelerator for rubber,[2] and as a stabilizer for PVC and PVDC.

Its use as a vulcanization accelerator was discovered by BF Goodrich chemist George Oenslager.

[3] Thiocarbanilide reacts with phosphorus pentachloride or hydrochloric acid, dilute sulfuric acid, acetic anhydride or iodine to produce phenyl isothiocyanate.
