Uses
Guanidine hydrochloride (50-01-1) is mainly used as a drug intermediate, is to create sulfadiazine, sulfa-methyl pyrimidine, sulfamethazine and folic acid an important raw material. It also can be used as medicine, pesticide, dyes and other organic synthesis intermediates. Can be used to synthesis of 2 - amino-pyrimidine, 2 - amino -6 - methyl-pyrimidine, 2 - amino -4,6 - dimethyl-pyrimidine, is to create sulfadiazine, sulfa-methyl pyrimidine, sulfamethazine and other sulfa drugs, intermediates. Guanidine (or guanidine nitrate) and ethyl cyanoacetate reaction, cyclization of 2,4 - 2-amino -6 - hydroxy-pyrimidine, folic acid used for synthesis of anti-anemia drugs. Also be used as synthetic anti-static agent.
Production
Double cyanide-ammonia and ammonium salt (ammonium chloride) as raw materials in the 170-230 ℃ melt under the reaction of guanidine hydrochloride were crude, after refining was finished.
