11 Where X is Cl the process is conducted by mixing 12 the two starting materials at 0-10C. in an inert organic 13 solvent, such as a chlorinated hydrocarbon, especially 14 methylene chloride and warming to room temperature to 50C.
for up to about 6 hours. Where X is (CH3)2N-, the process 16 is conducted by heating a mixture of the starting materials 17 in an inert organic solvent, such as benzene, at 50C.

S Step B: Preparation of S-methyl-2-methylthio-2-thiazoline 6 17.37 G. of the dithiocarbamate from Step A in 7 30 ml. dry ether was added to 73 ml. thionyl chloride at 8 0-5C. The mixture was stirred at 0 for 2 hours, then 9 stored in a refrigerator overnight. The thionyl chloride was evaporated at 30C. and the residual oil (containing 11 elemental sulfur) was poured into saturated NaHCO3 solution 12 and extracted with ether. The etherial fraction was ex-13 tracted with dilute HCl. The aqueous fraction was basified 14 with NaOH solution and extracted with ether. Evaporation of the ether afforded 6.65 g. liquid residue. This was 16 chromatographed on a column of silica gel using benzene 17 as eluant to give 2.5 g. (16.2~) o~ oily 5-methyl-2-methyl-18 thio-2-thiazoline.

22 and 592 mg. trimethyl oxonium fluoborate were stirred 23 together in 40 ml. CH2Cl~ overnight at room temperature.
24 The fluoborate dissolves slowly as it reacts. The reaction mixture was stripped to dryness to give a colorless oil 26 which was used directly in the next step.
27 Step D: Preparation of 3,5-dimethyl-2 iminothiazolidine 28 fumarate 29 The cxude fluoborate salt from Step C was dis-solved in 40 ml. of alcohol and the solution was saturated 31 with gaseous NH3. The solution was stirred at room tem-_g_ ~ 1 5 7 4 3 IA

The ~wo layers were separated, and the 6 aqueous fraction was extracted once more with C~C13. ~he 7 combined CHC13 fraction was dried and concentrated to dry-8 ness to give 630 mg. o oil. The compound was converted to 9 the umarate, and crystallized from isopropanol-ether to give 720 mg. cream-colored crystals, m.p. 130-138C. (73%) 11 overall. Recrystallization of the fumarate from isopro-12 panol-ether gave 470 mg. 3,5-dimethyl-2-iminothiazolidine 13 fumarate, m.p. 133-6C.
