Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-guanidino-4-[2-(2,3-dimethylisothioureido)ethylthiomethyl]thiazole hydrogen maleate hydriodide (0.8 g.) in water (10 ml.) was treated with an aqueous solution of potassium carbonate (0.3 g. in 5 ml. water) and the solution heated on the steam bath for 4 hours. After cooling and allowing to stand for 16 hours the aqueous layer was decanted from the brown gum and the gum taken up into ethanol and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness and the residue converted to the hydrogen maleate salt which was recrystallized from ethanol to give 2-guanidino-4-[2-(3-methylureido)ethylthiomethyl]thiazole hydrogen maleate hemihydrate, m.p. 167°-170° C.
