Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-chloro-3-(dimethylamino)propane hydrochloride (200 g), thiourea (98.1 g) and ethanol (11) was stirred and heated under reflux for 25 hours. The solution was cooled to ambient temperature and ethyl acetate added until permanent opalescence was obtained. The mixture was stored at 4° C. overnight then filtered to give S-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]isothiourea dihydrochloride as a colourless solid. (283 g), m.p. 155°-159° C.
