Reaktionsschritte

113 g of N-phenyl-N'-benzyl-urea were dissolved in 1000 g of o-dichlorobenzene; the solution was made acid with 2-ethyl-hexanoic acid and reacted with 72 g of dimethyl maleate. After a reaction time of 6 hours at 175° C, the solvent was distilled off and the residue triturated with ether. The product separated by suction filtration can be obtained pure by recrystallisation from toluene. The white crystals obtained have a melting point of 130° C and their structure was demonstrated by the IR and NMR spectra and elementary analysis.
