Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.65 g (8.13 mmol) of 1-(4-methyl-5-imidazolyl)-2-bromoethanone in 165 ml of acetone was heated until homogeneous. 0.96 g (8.13 mmol) of amidinothiourea was added and the mixture was heated at reflux for 1 hour. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration. This solid amounted to 0.98 g (40%) of 2-guanidino-4-(4-methyl-5-imidazolyl)thiazole hydrobromide, mp 245° (dc); nmr D6DMSO) (δ): 8.52 (s, 1H); 7.67 (b, 4H); 7.20 (s, 1H); 2.49 (s, 3H).
