Reagent for organic synthesisUsed as a reagent for organic synthesis. Thiourea is a photographic fixative, and used in manufacture of resins. It acts as a catalyst for asymmetric reactions. It plays an essential role as a catalyst for highly enantio- and diastereoselective additions reaction of oxindoles to nitroolefins. It is also useful to improve the productivity of mung bean.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
