Abstract

2-Hydroxymethyl-4-methylimidazole(2a) and 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)-4-methylimidazole(3a) have been synthesized and characterized. No reaction on the hydroxymethyl moieties in position 2 of these compounds could be observed with cysteamine under usual reaction conditions. The hydroxymethyl group in position 5 of compound 3a does react with cysteamine to give an intermediate leading to 3b and to cimetidine analogue 3c.
