~ H2 ~ 0 ~ CH2-s-(c~l2)2-NH-c-NH-cH3 (II) which is a known, outstanding drug against gastric and duodenal ulcers ~Brit. J. Pharmacol. 72, 49, 55 /1981/).
For preparing the base of formula (I), two processes are described in the published German patent application No. 2,734,070. Hereinafter, these processes will be named as "literature process A" and "literature process B", respectively.
According to the literature process A, reported in Example A/ (page 37) of the patent application cited above, a mixture containing cysteamine hydrochloride, 5-^ -dimethylaminomethyl-2-furfuryl alcohol of the formula (IVj 20 ~ -CH2 ~ CH2-OH (IV) and concentrated hydrochloric acid is kept at 0 G for 18 hours. In this reaction, the hydrochloric acid is present in an about 10-fold molar excess. After the work-ing-up and dist~illation, the base form of formula (I3 is obtained with a yield of about 54 e~.

:

'~ ~ ' ",' ~2~i~474 It was shown by own experiments that this moderate yield is a consequence of the extremely acidic medium;
namely, under these conditions the reaction is accompanied by an intensive tar formation.
It should be noted that the sensitivity of the furan derivatives to acids is well-known in the literature (see e.g. Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, Ed. S.
Coffey, Vol. IV/A, page 91, Elsevier Co., New York, 1973).
The disadvantages of this process are as follows.
- The duration of the reaction necessary to prepare the compound of formula (I) is too long.
- The reaction medium is extremely corrosive.
- The base of formula ~I) obtained after distillation is unstable even when kept in refrigerator at a temperature between 0 and 4 C: after a few days it becomes dark.
; Thereafter it is not uniform, i.e. it becomes unsuitable for further use within a relatively short period. The instability - particularly to heat - of the free base of formula (I~ is well demonstrated by the fact that at most 60 to 70 % can be recovered without decomposition~
even when the uniform, pure base is subjected to distill~
tion under highly reduced pressure and at relatively low temeprature, e.2. at 120 to 124 C and a pressure of 80 to 107 Pa.
For these reasons (in conclusion~ the literature process A lS not suitable for lar~e-scale produc~ion.
The literature process B is only partially reported in the Example D/ (page 40) , Example E/ ~page 41) and : :

~L2~474 Example 1 (page 48~ of the patent application cited above.
According to these Examples, the base of formula lI) is prepared in three steps. In the first step ~Example D/ on page 40), 2-furylmethyl mercaptan is condensed with N-(2-bromoethyl~-phthalimide to give 2-(2-phthalimidoethyl~--thiomethylfuran in a yield of 52.3%; in the second step ~Example E/ on page 41~, this product is brought into Mannich reaction with dimethylamine hydrochloride and form-aldehyde to give 2-/~2-phthalimidoethyl~-thiomethyl7-5-di-methylaminomethylfuran, i.e. the phthaloyl derivative ofthe compound of formula (I~ with a yield of 47.3%; final-ly, in the third step this latter compound is dephthaloylat-ed (Example 1 on page 48) to give the salt of the base of formula ~I) with phthalic acid hydrazide. The separation of the compound of formula (I) and the yield are not given;
thus, the literature process B cannot be used for comparison.
; It has been found withln own experiments that the yield of the third step, i.e. of dephthaloylation, cannot be considered as more than 84%. In conclusion, the overall yield of the literature process B, as calculated for 2--furylmethyl mercaptan as starting material used in the first step, is at most 20.78% of the base of formula (I).
For a complete comparison of literature processes A and B it is suitable to trace back both the starting material of the literature process A, i.e. the compound of formula (IV) , as well as that of the literature process B, i.e. 2-furylmethyl mercaptan to 2-furfuryl alcohol, i.e.
to the common, commercially available base material Or both , , .

starting compounds. The yield, known from the literature, of the compound of formula (IV) is 70% as calculated for 2-furfuryl alcohol (J. Chem. Soc. 1958, 4728), while the yield, known from the literature, of 2-furylmethyl mercaptan is 60% as calculated for 2-furfuryl alcohol ~Organic Sytheses Coll. Vol. 4, page 491, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, 1963).
~i Obviously, out of the two processes known from literature, the literature process A is unambiguously more preferable since in this way the base of formula (I) is obtained from the common, commercially available base material in less :Lu steps and in a higher overall yield ~i.e. 37.8%) as compared to the overall yield (i.e. 12.47%) of the literature process B.
However, as indicated above, the literature process B also shows a number of disadvantages, mainly from the view-point of large scale production.
1~;
: Thus, the present invention provides a process for the preparation of the compound of formula (I~ and/or of the acid addition salts thereof, which is devoid of the drawbacks of the above-sighted processes known in the prior:art, and makes z~ possible to produce the compound of formula ( I ) and~or the acid addition salts thereof in a good yield and in a simple way at an industrial scale, too.

~` Now it has been found, unexpectedly, that the compound ~ of formula ~I) can be prepared in a much more advantageous way than via the processes reported above,

-~LZ6~3474 by reacting cysteamine or an acid addition salt thereof with the new, zwitterionic ~5-dimethylaminomethyl-2-furylmethyl) hydrogen sulphate of formula ~III), which latter can in turn be obtained from 5-dimethylaminomethyl-2--furfuryl alcohol of the formula ~V) in an excellent yield.
Further on, it has been found that the base of formula (I~, which can directly be used for the preparation of the compound of formula (II), or any desired acid addition salt of the base of formula ~I) can easily be obtained in a good quality from the new salts thereof prepared in this way.
The in~ention also relates to the preparation of the new, zwitterionic (5-dimethylaminomethyl-2-furylmethyl~
hydrogen sulphate of formula (III) used in the process of the invention.

Thus, the present invention relates to the acid addition salts of 2-/~2-aminoethyl~-thiomethyl7-5-dimethyl-aminomethylfuran of the formula (I) and a process for prepar-ing same and, if desired, for transforming any of the salts obtained to the ~no~ base of formula (I), which comprises a/ reacting the zwitterionic (5-dimethylaminomethyl--2-furylmethyl) hydrogen sulphate of formula ~III) with cysteamine or with an acid addition salt thereof, or b/ treating 5-dimethylaminomethyl-2-furfuryl alcohol of the formuLa (IV) with sulphur trioxide or with an agent suitable to introduce sulphur trioxide in the presence of a solvent, then separating and reacting the obtained ~5-di-:~ :

A preferred embodiment of process a/ of the invention comprises melting the zwitterion of formula ~III) with an acid addition salt (e.g. with the hydrochloride) of cysteamine under nitrogen or under vacuum at a temperature between 60 and 95 C without adding any solvent.
Ihe process of the invention can preferably be carried out in the presence of solvents, too.
A preferred embodiment of process b~ of the invention ` comprises reacting 5-dimethylaminomethyI-2-furfuryl alcohol of the formula ~IV~ with a complex formed from dimethyl-formamide and sulphur trioxide and used in a nearly 1~
molar proportion in dimethylformamide as solven~. As the reaction proceeds, the zwitterionic compound of formula ~III) ~; is precipitated from the mixture as a solid and it can easily be separated after termination of the reaction.
~` The zwitterionic compound separated can preferably be brought into reaction with cysteamine or with an acid addition salt thereof.
In the process b/ of the invention the zwitterionic compound of formula (III) may also be formed in aceto-` ` I :

After alkalization of an aqueous solution of the melt obtained either in process a/ or b/ of the invention, the composition of which accords to a mixed monohydro-chloride monohydrogen sulphate salt of the base of formula (I), the base of formula (I) can be extracted into an organic solvent. The crude base of formula (I), obtained as the evaporation residue of the organic extract, or the pure base of formula (I) obtained therefrom by distillation can be transformed to any desired acid addi-tion salt of the base of formula ~I) after adding the appropriate acid component. However, the salt of the base of formula (I~ formed in either process a/ or b/ of the invention can be transformed also directly, without liberating the base to another acid addition salt of the base of formula t I).
As an example for the transformation of an acid addition salt of the base of formula (I~, obtained by either process a/ or b/ of the invention, to another acid addition salt thereof, the hydrochloride may preferably be prepared by separating first the base of formula ~I) in the manner of working-up mentioned above and then by acidify-ing a solution thereof in a lower aliphatic alcohol, e.g.
in ethanol with a solution of dry, gaseous hydrogen chloride in the appropriate lower alkanol. Thus, the di-hydrochloride of the base of formula (I) is obtained as a crystalline precipitate.

_ g _ A monohydrochloride can also be formed from the base of formula (I) in a known manner.
Cysteamine and its salts, used both in the processes a/ and b/ of the invention, are known compounds, a part of which is commercially available.
Instead of the complex formed from sulphur trioxide and dimethyl formamide, the complex of sulphur trioxide with pyridine or dioxane, respectively, may also be used for the process b/ of the invention. A11 these complexes are known from the literature / see e.g. J. Am. Chem. Soc.

Soc. 69, 464 ~1947~7.
¦ The advantages of the process of the invention can ¦ be summarized as follows.
- Unlike in the known literature process A, no large amounts of a concentrated mineral acid are required for the reaction; thus, the danger of corrosion is significan~
ly lower.
- It is mainly due to the elimination of the strong acid ; ~ that, according to the process of the invention, the reaction temperature can significantly (e.g. from 0 C
to 90 C) be increased wlthout any deterioration in the quality of the product, whereby the time of reaction is also significantly (at least by an order of magnitude) diminished. All these factors contribute to the formation ;

of a tar-free product of good quality.
- The salts of the base of formula (I) prepared accord-ing to the process of the invention are well-defined, stable substances from which, if desired, the base of formula (I) can be liberated at any time, in a suitably short time before use.
- Some of the acid addition salts of the base of formula (I) prepared according to the process of the invention may directly (i.e. without liberating the base) be employ-ed for preparing 1 {2-/ 5-dimethylaminomethyl-2-~furyl-methylthio)-ethyl7~-amino-1-methylamino-2-nitroethylene of the formula (II~.
- The volume needed for the reaction is significantly di-minished by eliminating the excess of the acid, i.e. by carrying out the reaction through melting; thus, the efficiency of utilization of the equipment capacity becomes higher.
- While preparing 5-dimethylaminomethyl-2-furfuryl alcohol of the formula (IV~ according to the literature / J. Am.
Chem. Soc. 69, 464 (1947L7 the distilled base of formula (IV) contains a high amount ~in some cases 10 to 20%) of contaminating materials. When the compound of formula (IV) obtained in this way is directly trans-formed to the base of formula (I~ according to the process described in Example A/ (page 37) of the publish-ed German patent application No. 2,734,070, a significant amount o~ contaminations, mainly tars,are formed owing to the hi~sh excess of the acid during the reaction, ::

' ` '' "' '; ' , ' ; ~ ' ~6~347~

even when the reaction temperature is low. In contrast to this, when a product of the formula (IV) is trans-formed to the new zwitterionic compound of formula ~
according to the process of the invention, the contamina tions arising durin~ the preparation of the compound of formula (IV) and influencing disadvantageously the reaction of the compound of formula ~V)with cysteamine hydrochloride are retained in the mother liquor remain-ing after filtering out the zwitterionic substance;
hence, the reaction with cysteamine or with an acid addition salt thereof, carried out in the following step, is not disturbed.
- According to the literature process A, the yield of the distilled base of formula (I) as calculated for the compound of formula (IV~ is about 54%. As the zwitter-ionic compound of formula (III~ is obtained from the compound of formula (IV) in a 92.8% yield and the compound of formula (III) can be transformed to the base of formula (I) with a yield of 68 . 9% according to the process of the invention, the overall yield of the distilled base of formula (I) as calculated for the compound of formula (IV 3 is 6~ . 9~, i.e. much better than the yield of the literature process A.
It is obvious that the use of the process of the invention at an industrial scale is made possible on the basis of the advantages summariæed above.
The process of the invention i5 illustrated in detail by the following non-limiting Examples.
