Abstract

N-cyano-N'-methyl-N''-(2- mercaptoethyl)-guanidine is made by the hydrogenolysis of 2,2'- dithiobisethyl-(N-cyano-N'-methyl)- guanidine so that no change occurs in the guanidine residue. Preferred electrolytic and chemical hydrogenolyses are disclosed.

Description

SPECIFICATION Preparation of N-cyano-N'.methyl-N"-(2-mercapto-ethyl)-guanidine Description The present invention relates to a process for preparing N-cyano-N'-methyl-N '-(2-mercaptoethyl)-guanidine by the hydrogenolysis of 2,2'-dithiobis-ehtyl-(N-cyano-N'-methyl)-guanidine. N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-(2mercaptoethyl)-guanidine is useful as an intermediate for the preparation of N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-[2-(5 methy-imidazole-4-yl)-methyl-thio-ethylj-guanidine, the latter being an active substance in the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers.
It is well known that N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-(2-mercaptoethyl)-guanidine can be prepared by the reaction of cysteamine and N-cyano-N',S-dimethyl-isothiourea in the presence of sodium hydroxide (Dutch Published Patent Application 75.10344).
It has now been found that N.cyano-N'-methyl-N'-(2-mercaptoethyl)-guanidine can be prepared readily and in quantitative yields by hydrogenolizing 2,2'-dithiobisethyl-(N-cyano-N'-methyl)-guanidine.
In carrying out the process of the invention, 2,2'-dithiobisethyl-(N-cyano-N'-methyl)-guanidine of the formula:
preferably obtained by the reaction of cysteamine and N-CYANO-N', S-dimethylisothiourea, is hydrogenolyzed to N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-(2-mercaptoethyl)-guanidine under such conditions that no change takes place in the cyanoguanidine residue.
In carrying out the process according to the present invention, 2,2'-dithiobis-(N-cyano-N'-methyl)- guanidine, which preferably is obtained by the condensation of cysteamine and N-cyano-N',Sdimethylisothiourea in an alcohol, e.g. Cm no at the boiling temperature for 2 to 3 hours, is advantageously suspended in liquid ammonia; after the addition of 6 to 9 equivalents of sodium, the ammonia is evaporated, the residue is dissolved in water, acidified to pH 4 and N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-(2-mercaptoethyl)-guanidine is isolated in a conventional manner.
Preferred ways of conducting the hydrogenolysis of 2,2'-dithiobisethyl-(N-cyano-N'-methyl)-guanidine also include the use of lithium aluminium hydride in an organic solvent, potassium sulphide or sodium sulphide in an aqueous or alcoholic medium as well as electrolytically.
The invention can also employ other methods leading to the same result as stated above.
The process of the invention is advantageous, in that repeated dimerisation during the reaction is no longer possible and a pure product is obtained in high yields.
The process is illustrated by the following Examples, which should not be considered as a limitation of the present invention.
Example 1 Cysteamine (4.89, 0.062 mole) and N-cyano-N',S-dimethyl-isothiourea (8.0g, 0.062 mole) were added to ethanol (100 ml). The reaction mixture was heated for 2.5 hours at 75" -78"C while stirring. Ethanol was evaporated and the residue, when necessary, was recrystallized from an organic solvent. 2,2'-dithiobisethyl- (N-cyano-N'-methyl)-guanidine (7.879,82%), m.p. 258"-160"C, was obtained.
Example 2 2,2'-Dithiobisethyl-(N-cyano-N'-methyl)-guanidine (1.57g, 0.005 mole) was suspended in liquid ammonia (30 ml) and sodium (0.929, 0.04 mole) was added in portions. The excess of sodium was removed by adding small amounts of ammonium chloride. Ammonia was evaporated off, the residue was dissolved in water (8 ml) and acidified to pH 4 with 10% hydrochloric acid. The aqueous solution was extracted three times with ethyl acetate (25 ml each time). Ethyl acetate extract was dried over sodium sulphate and, after evaporation, N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-(2-mercaptoethyl)-guanidine (1.579,99%) was obtained in the form of a viscous colourless oil having the same physical constants as the authentic sample.
Example 3 2,2'-Dithiobisethyl-(N-cyano-N'-methyl)-guanidine (0.59, 0.0016 mole) was added to a suspension of lithium aluminium hydride (0.149, 0.0038 mole) and dry ether (30 ml). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 2 hours, whereafter 5% hydrochloric acid was carefully added drop by drop to achieve pH 4. The ether layer was separated and the acidic aqueous layer was extracted three more times with ethyl acetate (20 ml each time). The combined ether extracts and ethyl acetate extracts were dried over sodium sulphate and, after evaporation, N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-(2-mercaptoethyl)-guanidine (0.3769,75%) was obtained.
Example 4 A solution of Na2S.9H20 (0.5g, 0.002 mole + excess 5%) in water (10 ml)was added to a suspension of 2,2'-dithiobisethyl-(N-cyano-N'-methyl)-guanidine (0.314g, 0.001 mole) in water (10 ml). The reaction mixture was heated at 800-900C for 2 hours, then cooled and extracted three times with ethyl acetate (10 ml each time). The aqueous part was acidified to pH 4 with 1 N HCI and extracted three more times with ehtyl acetate (10 ml each time). The combined ethyl acetate extracts were dried over sodium sulphate and, after evaporation, N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-(2-mercapthoethyl)-guanidine (0.21g, 66%) was obtained.
Example 5 A solution of Na2S.9H20 (0.5g, 0.002 mole + excess 5%) in water (3 ml) was added to a solution of 2,2-dithiobisethyl-(N-cyano-N'-methyl)-guanidine (0.3149, 0.001 mole) in ethanol (20 ml). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 2 hours, ethanol was evaporated and the aqueous part was further treated as in Example 4. N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-(2-mercaptoethyl)-guanidine (0.1 8g, 57%) was obtained.
Example 6 2,2'-Dithiobisethyl-(N-cyano-N'-methyl)-guanidine (0.3149, 0.001 mole) was added to 0.1 N potassium chloride solution (50 ml) and was electrolytically reduced in a 100 ml cell, while conducting nitrogen through the reaction solution. A constant current of 0.05 A was applied by means of a mercury cathode of 20 cm2 at the bottom of the cell and a centrally-located lead anode (anolyte was 10% sulphuric acid) at a temperature of 20"C. Catholyte and anolyte were separated by a synthetic diaphragm and the catholyte was agitated by means of a magnetic stirrer. The course of the reaction can be monitored by polarography or thin layer chromatography (chloroform: methanol = 9:3). After the reaction was completed, the aqueous solution was extracted three times with ethyl acetate (25 ml each time).The ethyl acetate extract was dried over sodium sulphate and then evaporated to dryness. N-cyano-N '-methyl-N"-(2-mercaptoethyl)-guanidine (0.1 86g, 59%) was obtained in the form of a colourless viscous oil.
Example 7 Analogously to the process described in Example 6, with the only difference that it was operated in methanolic solution under the addition of sodium chloride (0.39) and that the product was isolated in such a way that after the completed reaction, methanol was evaporated to dryness and the residue dissolved in water (5 ml) and acidified to pH 4 with hydrochloric acid, after extraction with ethyl acetate, the product (0.2369,75%) was obtained in the form of a colourless viscous oil.
Example 8 Analogously to the process as described in Example 6, with the only difference that the reaction was carried out in methanol under the addition of 5-methyl-4-chloromethyl imidazole hydrochloride (0.3329, 0.002 mole) as electrolyte and the product was isolated as in Example 7, the product (0.2439,77%) was obtained in the form of a colourless viscous oil.
