Procedure

A solution of 4-hydroxymethyl-5-methylimidazole hydrochloride (30.0 g.) and cysteamine hydrochloride (23.0 g.) in acetic acid (200 ml.) was heated under reflux for 10 hours. Following cooling to 15°-20° C., the solid which crystallized was collected and washed with isopropyl alcohol to give 4-methyl-5-[(2-aminoethyl)thiomethyl]-imidazole dihydrochloride, m.p. 189°-192° C.
