Reaction Steps

4-Methoxymethyl-5-methylimidazole as the hydrochloride (4.5 g, 0.03 mole) and 3.4 g (0.03 mole) of cysteamine hydrochloride were dissolved in a minimum amount of acetic acid and the mixture was refluxed for 18 hours. After cooling in an ice bath, the mixture was filtered to give 5.8 g (80%) of 4-(2-aminoethyl)thiomethyl-5-methylimidazole dihydrochloride salt (thioamine salt).
