Reaktionsschritte

To a suspension of 3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-ureidoacetic acid (526 g.) in chlorobenzene (2,250 cc.) is added methanesulphonic acid (d = 1.48) (10 cc., representing 0.077 mol per mol of ureidoacetic acid). The water formed in the reaction is removed by azeotropic distillation. After 45 minutes' distillation, a limpid solution is obtained. After cooling to about 15° C, the precipitate formed is filtered off and washed on the filter with ethanol (500 cc.) at 10° C. After drying, 3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-hydantoin (467 g.) melting at 199° C is obtained. Yield: 94%.
