Process for producing 2-mercaptoethylamine hydrohalides

摘要: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSUREA process is disclosed for producing 2-mercaptoethylamine hydrobalides of the general formula: (111) wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are same or different each represents hydrogen, lower alkyl, hydroxy alkyl phenyl X halogen, which comprises reacting a 2-mercaptothiszoline (I) with 2-halogenoethylamine hydrohalide (II) R1 to as defined above, in presence water. The 2-morcaptoethylamine hydrohalides obtained high purity by safer less expensive process.
