Reaction Steps

A mixture of 9.5 g (28 mmol) of 2-guanidino-4-(2-bromo-1,1-diethoxyethyl)thiazole in 50 ml of 48% hydrobromic acid was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours The mixture was evaporated to complete dryness to afford 10.1 g (100%) of 2-bromo-1-(2 -guanidino-4-thiazolyl)ethanone hydrobromide mp 247° (dec). This material could be converted to the free base by triturating with saturated sodium bicarbonate, stirring for 15 minutes, filtering the solid, and drying it under vacuum. In this way, 3.0 g of the hydrobromide salt was converted to 1.7 g (88%) of the free base, mp 210° (dec); nmr (DMSO-d6 (δ): 7.84 (s, 1H); 6.92 (s, 4H); 4.78 (s, 2H).
