Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(2-guanidino-4-thiazolylmethylthio)-ethylamine dihydrochloride (4 g, 0.013 mole) in ethanol (25 ml) was basified with a solution of sodium (0.65 g, 0.028 mole) in ethanol (20 ml). The mixture was filtered and the filtrate added to 2-methylsulphinyl-3-nitropyrrole (1.5 g, 0.0086 mole). The mixture was refluxed for 5 days, then the solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue chromatographed on a silica-gel column. The product was eluted with ethyl acetate/propan-2-ol (8:2) and recrystallised from methanol/acetone (6:4). Yield: 0.65 g, 22%. M.P. 195.5°-200° C.
