Under argon, 6 g (60.5 mmol) of 2-amino-2-cyanoacetamide was initially charged in 67 g of methanol. 1.67 g (9.3 mmol) of sodium methoxide solution (30%) was added and the mixture was stirred at 20° C. for 2 hours. At 0° C., 11.55 g (64.1 mmol) of methylglyoxal solution (40%) was added and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hours. The solution was then cooled to -20° C. The product precipitated out. After filtration and drying, 3.56 g of the title product was obtained. The yield was 39 percent. The melting point of the title product was 170° C. to 172° C. Other data concerning the title product was:
