Ethylenediamine → N-methyl-N'-[2-(3-pyridazinylmethylamino)ethyl]thiourea

Participants

Reaction Steps

Reacting 3-chloromethylpyridazine with ethylenediamine by the procedure of Example 34 and reacting the resulting N-(3-pyridazinylmethyl)ethylenediamine with methyl isothiocyanate by the procedure of Example 3(b), then chromatographing gives N-methyl-N'-[2-(3-pyridazinylmethylamino)ethyl]thiourea. This intermediate is reacted with lead cyanamide by the procedure of Example 3(b) to give N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-[2-(3-pyridazinylmethylamino)-ethyl]guanidine. Hydrolysis of this compound by the procedure of Example 3(e) gives N-methyl-N'-[2-(3-pyridazinylmethylamino)ethyl]guanidine dihydrochloride.
