Thiocarbanilide is an organic chemical compound with the formula (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>NH)<sub>2</sub>CS. This white solid is a derivative of thiourea. It is prepared by the reaction of aniline and carbon disulfide.
Thiocarbanilide is commonly used as a vulcanization accelerator for rubber, and as a stabilizer for PVC and PVDC. Its use as a vulcanization accelerator was discovered by BF Goodrich chemist George Oenslager.
Thiocarbanilide reacts with phosphorus pentachloride, phosphorus pentoxide, acetic anhydride, and other reagent to produce phenyl isothiocyanate.
