A mixture of 970 mg. (4.48 m. mol) of 4-guanidinobenzoic acid and 910 mg. (4.48 m. mol) of bis-trimethylsilylacetamide in dry tetrahydrofuran was heated to reflux for five minutes. After cooling the resulting solution of thionylchloride, 1.07 g. (8.95 m. mol) was added, followed after 20 minutes by the addition of 1.5 g. (8.95 m. mol) of 2-amino-5-chloroimidazole and 1.81 g. (17.9 m. mol) of triethyl amine in 10 ml. of tetrahydrofuran. After 16 hours at room temperature 0.40 ml. of water was added and the solids filtered, washed with chloroform and recrystallized from methanol-chloroform-diethyl ether, 435 mg., m.p. 263°-265° C.
