Reaction Steps

A solution of N-methanesulphonyliminodithiocarbonic acid dimethyl ester (10.0 g.) and 4-methyl-5-((2-aminoethyl)thiomethyl)imidazole (8.5 g.) in ethanol (100 ml.) was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. Excess ethanolic methylamine was added and stirring continued for 3 hours at room temperature. Concentration and trituration with ice-water afforded N-methanesulphonyl-N'-methyl-N"-[2-((4-methyl-5-imidazolyl)methylthio)ethyl]guanidine (12.7 g.), m.p. 133°-134° (from water)
