CAPLUS Abstract
The effect of temp. , pH of the medium, the compn. of the alc.-water solvent, and the complex forming additive on
the prepn. of high-purity nickel powders by redn. with thiourea dioxide was studied.
The effectiveness of thiourea dioxide as a reducing agent was compared to other sulfur-contg. reducing agents.

Thiourea dioxide as a reducing agent.Gore, P. H. Acton Tech. Coll., London,
Chemistry & Industry (London, United Kingdom) (1954), 1355. CODEN: CHINAG ISSN: 0009-3068. Journal language unavailable. CAN 49:68864 AN 1955:68864 CAPLUS Abstract
A preliminary survey shows that +H2N:C(NH2)SO2- (I) is a powerful reducing agent, capable of reducing aromatic nitro, azoxy, azo, and hydrazo compds. to amines, quinones
to hydroquinones, and a no. of dyes to their leuco derivs., in excellent yields.
Reduction is carried out by adding I in 1 portion to H2O, pyridine, or HCONMe2 (or mixts. of these) in the presence of excess NH4OH, or caustic alkali and warming the mixt. to 70° on a H2O bath with occasional shaking.

Abstract
2-Aminomorphine (I, R = H, R1 = H2N) and 2-aminocodeine (I, R = Me, R1 = H2N) were prepd. in yields of 60 and 81%, resp., by redn. of I (R1 = NO2) with formamidinesulfonic acid. 2-H2NC6H4CO2H, 3-H2NC6H4OH, and 4-H2NC6H4Me were similarly prepd. in yields of 85, 90, and 56%, resp., by redn. of the corresponding nitro compds.

Abstract
Thiourea dioxide, readily obtained by treating thiourea with H2O2, reduced nitro compds. to the corresponding arom. amines. Redn. of PhNO2 to PhNH2 in an alk. soln. showed that PhNHNHPh was formed from nitroso-, azo- and azoxybenzene in good yield. Substituted hydrazobenzenes were formed from the corresponding azobenzenes.

Abstract
The title compd. (I) (thiourea dioxide), a reducing agent for vat dyes, ketones, conjugated unsatd. acids, and an antioxidant for Cl2C:CCl2, was produced continuously in high yields of good purity. Thus, 338 ml. 50% H2O2 and
2420 ml. 10% aq. thiourea were pumped continuously into resp. legs (internal diam. 0.35 in.) of an Al cross reactor; the reaction temp. was 8-10°, the reaction time, about 30 sec. The reaction mixt. was withdrawn through a third leg of the reactor at 45.7 ml./min. and passed through a 20° water bath into a heat exchanger in which ice-water produced a slurry from which was filtered 318 g. I, approx. theoretical yield (based on H2O2). A detailed
explanation of the process diagram is given.
