Participants

Reaction Steps

N-Methyl-N'-[4-(2-thiazolyl)butyl]thiourea was converted into its hydriodide salt with 66% hydriodic acid. This salt was dissolved in methanol, methyl iodide added and the solution heated under reflux for 2 hours. Concentration and crystallisation of the resultant oil gave N,S-dimethyl-N'-[4-(2-thiazolyl)butyl]isothiourea dihydriodide. Reaction of this isothiourea with hydroxylamine by the procedure of Example 1(ii) gave the title product.
