(Effect of the invention) When 4-methylimidazole of the present invention and thiazolidine are reacted in a reaction system in a mineral acid to prepare 4-methyl-5-[(2-aminoethyl) -thiomethyl] -imidazole, the reaction system Of 4-methyl-5-[(2-aminoethyl) -thiomethyl] -imidazole having a molar concentration of 4-methylimidazole and 4-methyl-5-[(2-aminoethyl) -thiomethyl] -imidazole are combined. Withdrawing the reaction solution out of the reaction system while keeping it at 70 mol% or less with respect to the number means that by-products are not substantially produced by the sequential reaction, and the reaction products 4-methylimidazole and 4-methyl High quality and easy to obtain -5-[(2-aminoethyl) -thiomethyl] -imidazole. Further, by separating the unreacted raw material from the reaction solution and recycling it to the reaction system, the unreacted raw material can be almost quantitatively converted into a reaction product. The present invention provides a method for continuously carrying out a process including reaction, separation and recovery / reuse of unreacted raw materials, and is an industrially advantageous method.
