Norfenefrine → HCID 178512328, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

With 15 ml of ethanol were mixed 3.0 g of N-cyano-N'-{2-[(2-guanidino-4-thiazolyl)methylthio]ethyl}-S-methylisothiourea, 4.9 g of DL-[2-hydroxy-2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]amine and 1.97 g of silver nitrate, and the resulting mixture was subjected to reaction under reflux for 1.5 hours. After completion of the reaction, the insolubles were removed by filtration, and the solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by a column chromatography (Wako Silica Gel C-200, eluent; chloroform:methanol=5:1 by volume) and crystallized from methanol to obtain 2.5 g (yield 68%) of N-cyano-N'-{2-[(2-guanidino-4-thiazolyl)methylthio]ethyl}-N"-[2-hydroxy-2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]guanidine having a melting point of 162°-164° C.
