N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-N'-2-propenylthiourea is a bifunctional thiourea derivative widely used as a crosslinking agent in polymer chemistry and as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis. The compound exhibits a melting point of 76-78°C (lit.) and boiling point of 259.4±50.0°C at 760 mmHg. With a density of 1.122±0.06 g/cm³ and pKa of 13.50±0.70, it demonstrates reactivity with both hydroxyl and allyl functional groups. Storage should be in airtight containers protected from light and moisture at room temperature. Safety precautions include wearing protective gloves/eyewear due to potential skin/eye irritation (GHS Category 2). Its unique structure enables applications in controlled drug delivery systems and specialty adhesives.
