Reaktionsschritte

Thoroughly dried 5,6-dichloro-1,3-dihydro-benzoimidazol-2-one (28.4 g, 0.14 mol) was suspended in POCl3 (75 mL). The reaction solution was heated to reflux temperature for 3 hours and cooled to room temperature. The solution was poured into crushed ice/water (1.5 L) slowly with sufficient stirring. The solution was neutralized to pH=7.0 with NaOH. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried to afford the title compound (27.9 g, 90%). The crude product was used in the following reaction without further purification.
