Abstract

Several methods are given in the literature for the preparation of cystamine (I)[bis (~- aminoethyl) disulfide dihydrochloride], starting from~-chloroethylamine hydrochloride (II). By the first method, the starting compound is treated in an aqueous alkaline solution with carbon disulfide, the 2-mercaptothiazoline obtained is hydrolyzed in an acid medium to the key intermediate-~-mercaptoethylamine (III)[3]-which is then oxidized into I by various ...
