Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(2-nitro-1-imidazolyl)-3-(1-aziridino)-2-propanol (2.12 g, 10.0 mmol) in acetone (20 cm3) prepared as described in Example 1(a) was treated with ethanoic acid (2.5 mol equivalents) at 25° C. then warmed to 50° C. for 15 minutes. The resulting mixture was cooled to 20° C., stirred with a decolourising charcoal (0.3 g) and excess anhydrous potassium carbonate for 30 minutes, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 1-(2-nitro-1-imidazolyl)-3-(2-acetoxyethylamino)-2-propanol (1.58 g, 58.0%) in the form of a pale yellow crystalline solid.
