| abstract |
There is provided a novel process for preparing 5,5-dimethyl-2-hydrazino-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine hydrohalide by causing neopentyldiamine to react with a guanidine hydrohalide and followed by treating the so-formed reaction product with hydrazine to yield the desired tetrahydropyrimidine hydrohalide. Alternatively, neopentyldiamine, guanidine hydrohalide and hydrazine can be admixed and reacted to yield the desired tetrahydropyrimidine hydrohalide. |
