A new bis-thiourea (BT) derivative was successfully synthesized using both conventional reflux and microwave irradiation methods. The microwave irradiation reaction yielded a greater percentage yield of 73%, while the reflux heating yielded only 44%. The microwave irradiation procedure takes a minim...
