Reaction Steps

Cysteamine hydrochloride (2.22 g; 19.5 mmoles) and 2-[(2-imidazolidinyl)imino]-4-chloromethylthiazole hydrochloride (4.94 g; 19.51 mmoles) [prepared from 1,3-dichloro-2-propanone and N-(2-imidazolidin-2-yl)thiourea which is itself prepared from 2-(cyanimino)imidazolidine] were dissolved in 20 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid and heated at an oil bath temperature of 100° for 5.5 hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue made basic with 40% NaOH. The aqueous phase was extracted with methyl acetate, dried and evaporated to give 2.02 g of the title compound which was used in the next step without further purification.
