Reaction Steps

By the same procedure, using methylamine in place of dimethylamine, 4-(N-methylaminomethyl)-5-methylimidazole is prepared. In the same way, using butylamine and dibutylamine, 4-(N-butylaminomethyl)-5-methylimidazole and 4-(N,N-dibutylaminomethyl)-5-methylimidazole are prepared. Refluxing these intermediates with cysteamine by the above procedure and treating with hydrochloric acid gives 4-(2-aminoethyl)thiomethyl-5-methylimidazole dihydrochloride.
