Dulcin is also known by the names '''sucrol''' and '''valzin'''.<ref>{{cite book|title=A Dictionary of Food and Nutrition|first=David A.|last=Bender|year=2005|publisher=Oxford University Press}}</ref> Dulcin is also known by the names '''sucrol''' and '''valzin'''.<ref>{{cite book|title=A Dictionary of Food and Nutrition|first=David A.|last=Bender|year=2005|publisher=Oxford University Press}}</ref>


==Preparation==
Phyllodulcin, a chemically unrelated compound, is naturally produced in the leaves of '']'', a native shrub in Japan and eastern Asia.<ref>Mami Ujihara, Masateru Shinozaki and Makoto Kato. 1995. Accumulation of phyllodulcin in sweet-leaf plants of ''Hydrangea serrata'' and its neutrality in the defense against a specialist leaf mining herbivore. Researches on Population Ecology 37: 249-257.</ref> Its leaves are used to make a herbal tea that is regionally popular.
Dulcin can be produced by the addition of ] to ] ] in an ] at room temperature.<ref>{{Cite journal | journal = ] | volume = 11 | issue = 9 | pages = 481–503 | date = 2003 | title = Synthesis of sulofenur analogs as antitumour agents: Part II | author = Youssef, Khairia M. | author2 = Al-Abdullah, Ebtihal | author3 = El-Khamees, Hamad }}</ref>


An alternate way to make dulcin is by mixing ] and ''p''-phenetidine hydrochloride to a mixture of ] and glacial ].<ref>{{Cite journal | journal = Org. Synth. | date = 1951 | volume = 31 | issue = 11 | title = ARYLUREAS II. UREA METHOD p-ETHOXYPHENYLUREA | page = 11 | doi = 10.15227/orgsyn.031.0011 }}</ref>

==Additional reading== == Toxicity ==
Dulcin is toxic to rats at 0.1% of the diet and above. At 0.1%, it causes a slight slowdown in growth; at 1.0%, the slowdown is evident alongside an increase in mortality and noticeable histological changes in liver, kidney, spleen, and heart.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Ikeda |first1=Yoshio |last2=Omori |first2=Yoshihito |last3=Oka |first3=Shigenori |last4=Shinoda |first4=Mitsuo |last5=Tsuzi |first5=Kiyo |title=Studies on Chronic Toxicity of Dulcin |journal=Food Hygiene and Safety Science (Shokuhin Eiseigaku Zasshi) |date=1960 |volume=1 |issue=1 |pages=62–69 |doi=10.3358/shokueishi.1.62 |doi-access=free}}</ref>
