Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.0 g (4.6 mmol) of 1-(2,4-dimethyl-5-imidazolyl)-2-bromoethanone in 50 ml of acetone was warmed and 0.55 g (4.6 mmol) of amidinothiourea was added. The mixture was heated at reflux for 1 hour, during which time a white solid precipitated. The precipate was collected, washed with acetone, and dried to give 1.12 g (77%) of 2-guanidino- 4-(2,4-dimethyl-5-imidazolyl)thiazole hydrobromide hemihydrate as a white solid, mp 273° (dc). nmr (D6DMSO) (δ): 8.4-7.2 (b, 7H); 7.00 (s, 1H); 2.50 (s, 3H); 2.38 (s, 3H).
