Abstract
The literature concerning thiourea and its derivatives is voluminous. These compounds have found their way into almost every branch of chemistry. In the academic field thioureas are of great value in the characterization of organic compounds and great medicinal applications as well as non-medicinal activities in industry, analytical chemistry and metallurgy.This review is a sight of methods of synthesis and applications of thioureas in the field of medicine and agriculture. thioureas have a number of medicinal applications and a number of thioureas are in clinical use. Medicinal applications of thioureas are increasing with the passage of time. In the field of agriculture, Thiourea has been investigated for its multiple desirable properties as a fertilizer especially under the condition of environmental stress and are used as insect growth regulator, anti-fungal agents and herbicides.
