Methylamine → N-(2-chloro-5-thiazolylmethyl)-N'-methyl-N"-nitroguanidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of O-methyl-N-(2-chloro-5-thiazolylmethyl)-N'-nitroisourea (1.00 g, 4.00 mmol) in water (10 ml) was added 40% aqueous solution of methylamine (0.77 g, 9.92 mmol) dropwise. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 14 hours and the resulting crystals were collected by filtration, washed with water (10 ml), and dried. As a result, 0.92 g (92.0% yield) of 1-(2-chloro-5-thiazolylmethyl)-3-methyl-2-nitroguanidine was obtained.
