Sodium Hydroxide → N-amidinoisooxazolidine sulfate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 14.5 g. (0.13 mole) of isooxazolidine hydrochloride in water (100 ml.) is added 10.4 g. (0.13 mole) of fifty percent (w/w) aqueous sodium hydroxide and the mixture stirred for fifteen minutes. To this solution is added 18.1 g. (0.065 moles) of 2 -methyl-2-thiopseudourea sulfate and the entire mixture stirred under a stream of nitrogen overnight. The mixture is refluxed for 11/2, hours then filtered while still hot. The water is removed under vacuum to give a semi-solid residue which is triturated with hot isopropanol (3×100 ml.). The isopropanol is removed under vacuum to give an oil which is crystallized from isopropanol to give N-amidinoisooxazolidine sulfate.
