Reaction Steps

N-[2-[[[5-(Dimethylamino)methyl-2-furanyl]methyl]thio]ethyl]-N'-methyl-2-nitro-1,1-ethenediamine (50 g, 0.16 mole) was dissolved in industrial methylated spirit 74° o.p. (200 ml) containing 0.16 of an equivalent of hydrogen chloride. Ethyl acetate (200 ml) was added slowly to the solution. The hydrochloride crystallised and was filtered off, washed with a mixture of industrial methylated spirit 74° o.p. (50 ml) and ethyl acetate (50 ml) and was dried at 50°. The product (50 g) was obtained as an off-white solid m.p. 133°-134°.
