Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.00 gram (0.0062 mol) of 4-chloro-1,3-dimethyl-imidazoline-2-thione in 180 mL of acetone was added 0.569 g (0.0062 mol) of chloroacetone and a small crystal of sodium iodide. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature whereupon a product precipitated. The latter was recovered by filtration and recrystallized from isopropyl alcohol hexane to obtain purified 4 chloro-1,3-dimethyl-2-[(2-oxopropyl)thio]-1H-imidazolium chloride, m.p. 134°-136° C.
