Procedure

A solution of 4-(4-aminobutyl)imidazole (from the dihydrobromide 3.6 g) and 1-nitro-2,2-bis-methylthioethylene (2.0 g) in acetonitrile (50 ml) is set aside at room temperature for 3 days. The product is chromatographed on a column of silica gel with elution by ethyl acetate to give 1-nitro-2-methylthio-2-[4-(4-imidazolyl)butylamino]ethylene. Reaction of this methylthio compound with hydrazine hydrate in the procedure of Example 3 results in the production of 1-nitro-2-[4-(4-imidazolyl)butylamino]-2-hydrazinoethylene.
