Reaction Steps

N-(2-Chloroethyl)-tetrahydropyran-2-ylthioacetamide (0.48 g, 2 mmol), 2-mercaptoethylamine hydrochloride (0.34 g, 3 mmol), potassium hydroxide (0.34 g, 6 mmol) methanol (5 cm3) and water (1 cm3) were mixed and heated at 75° C. for 2 h. After cooling, 111acetone (50 cm3) was added and the resulting mixture filtered. Volatile components were removed from the filtrate under reduced pressure to give a pale yellow residue. This material was purified firstly by chromatography on silica using a mixture of ethyl acetate, methanol, and aqueous ammonia (90:9:1) as the eluant and then by reverse phase h.p.l.c. using aqueous acetonitrile as the eluant. The purified N-[2-(2-aminoethylthio)ethyl]-tetrahydropyran-2-ylthioacetamide (1 g, 32%) was obtained as a pale yellow oil.
