Reaction Steps

The starting material, 4-phenyl-2-imidazolin-2-ylhydrazine hydroiodide, is prepared as follows: 4-phenylimidazolidine-2-thione and methyliodide in refluxing ethanol yield 2-methylthio-4-phenyl-2-imidazolin hydroiodide, which upon treatment with hydrazine in boiling ethanol yields the desired intermediate, melting at 107°-108° C.
