Participants

Reaction Steps

In order to characterise this product a solution of 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (7.7 g) in 95% ethanol (50 ml) was added to a solution of N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-(2-mercaptoethyl)guanidine (6.0 g) in 95% ethanol. The mixture was refluxed for one hour and cooled. The resulting crystalline solid (7.73 g) was collected and was triturated with a large volume of ether and was recrystallised from acetonitrile to afford N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-[S-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-2-mercaptoethyl]-guanidine, m.p. 210°-211° C.
