HCID 205501323-Methyl-4-[(2-aminoethyl)thiomethyl]isothiazole hydrobromide

Procedure

Reacting 4-hydroxymethyl-3-methylisothiazole (3.0 g.) with cysteamine hydrochloride (2.8 g.) in 48% aqueous hydrobromic acid (50 ml.) by the procedure of Example 1 gives 3-methyl-4-[(2-aminoethyl)thiomethyl]-isothiazole hydrobromide. The base is obtained by basifying with aqueous potassium carbonate, extracting with chloroform, drying the extracts over magnesium sulphate and concentrating. Reacting the amine (5.0 g.) with methyl isothiocyanate (1.94 g.) in ethanol (25 ml.) under reflux for 30 minutes and purifying the product on a column of alumina with benzene as eluant gives N-methyl-N'-[2-(3-methyl-4-isothiazolylmethylthio)ethyl]thiourea. (Found: C, 40.8; H, 5.9; N, 16.1; S, 36.4. C9H15N3S3 requires: C, 41.3; H, 5.8; N, 16.1; S, 36.8).
