Detection of thioureas, thiosemicarbazides and monothiosemicarbazones with 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone

Abstract
Thiosemicarbazones, thiosemicarbazides, thioureas and also isothiocyanates are made to react with 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone in an ethanolic medium and on rendering the mixtures alkaline with ethanolic ammonia solution, a red to violet colour is developed with absorption maxima between 500 and 570 nm. The reaction forms the basis of a spot test for these compounds.
