Aroyl isothiocyanate is synthesized by the reaction of aroyl chloride with ammoniurrthiocyanate under the condition of solid1iquid phase transfer catalysis using PEG-400 as the catalyst.The tater needs not to be isolated and is reacted with aromatic amine immediately to give N-aroy 1-N′-aryl thiourea derivatives in high yield.The promoting effects of the title compounds on wheat growth are tested preliminily.
