Procedure

246 g of O-methylisourea sulfate are dissolved in 300 ml of water and 163 ml of chloroformic acid methyl ester are added dropwise at 10° C., followed by 170 g of NaOH, dissolved in 510 ml of water. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for a further 3 hours. The reaction solution is then extracted with ethyl acetate and this extract is dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. Evaporation under reduced pressure at a maximum bath temperature of 40° C. gives the N-methoxycarbonyl-O-methylisourea as an oil, which gradually solidifies to form crystals with a melting point of 40° C. Yield 150 g.
