Reaction Steps

A solution of 5 g (0.024 mole) of 2.6-dichlorophenylguanidine in 50 ml of tetrahydrofuran is chilled in an ice bath while 2.56 g (0.24 mole) of acetic anhydride is added dropwise. The mixture is then stirred for 48 hours and then poured into 1 liter of water. The mixture is then stirred for 8 hours and the precipitate is collected to obtain 1-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-1,3-diacetylguanidine 3 g of this material is stirred at room temperature with 15 ml of conc. hydrochloric acid. The reaction mixture is poured into ice and basicified with cold conc. sodium hydroxide solution. The precipitate is cooled and recrystallized from ethanol: water to obtain 1-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-3-acetylguanidine.
