Methyl iodide → Hydrogen iodide

Participants

Reaction Steps

5 g of 1-benzylideneamino-imidazolidine-2-thion are suspended in 40 ml of methanol and treated with 1.7 ml of methyliodide. The mixture obtained is refluxed for ca. one hour and the solvent is evaporated off. 1-Benzylideneamino-2-methylthio-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole in the form of a hydroiodide is obtained in solid form, to which 120 ml of water and 70 ml of an anion exchange resin in chloride form (Amberlite IRA-400 (Cl)R) are added. The mixture is stirred for ca. 2 hours at room temperature, filtrated and lyophilized. 1-Benzylideneamino-2-methylthio-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole in the form of a hydrochloride is obtained in the form of a lyophilisate.
