Methyl isothiocyanate → HCID 178486101, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-guanidino-4-(3-aminocyclohexyl)thiazole (0.6 g.) in ethanol (20 ml) was added methylisothiocyanate (0.18 g.) and the resulting solution was heated under reflux for two hours. The residue obtained on evaporation of the ethanol was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel (Kiesilgel 60, Merck) using chloroform/methanol/ammonia (s.g. 0.88) 8:2:0.3 v/v/v for development. The product, 2-guanidino-4-[3-(3-methylthioureido)cyclohexyl]thiazole, (0.4 g.) was obtained as a glass. The n.m.r. spectrum, in d6 dimethylsulphoxide, included resonances at 1.2-2.2(m,9H);2.8(d,3H); 4.0(m,1H); 6.2(s,1H); 6.8(br s,4H); and 7.2(br d,2H).
