The mixture was stirred for a further 30 minutes at 50° C., the constituents which had not dissolved were then filtered off and the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure. The combined residues were dissolved in hot water. On acidifying the solution with dilute hydrochloric acid, the reaction product precipitated out. This was filtered off, washed with water and dried. In this way 14.6 g (90% of theory) of 4,5-dichloro-2-cyano-imidazole were obtained and after recrystallization from toluene this had a melting point of 187°-189° C.
