[NH2:1][CH2:2][C:3]([C:5]1[CH:10]=[CH:9][CH:8]=[CH:7][CH:6]=1)=O.[O-:11][C:12]#[N:13].[K+].Cl>O>[C:5]1([C:3]2[NH:13][C:12](=[O:11])[NH:1][CH:2]=2)[CH:10]=[CH:9][CH:8]=[CH:7][CH:6]=12-Aminoacetophenone (5.6 g, 32.65 mmol) was dissolved in 200 ml of water in a three necked flask equipped with a thermometer and was heated up to 70° C. Potassium cyanate (2.9 g, 35.92 mmol) was added in several portions at 70° C. while the pH of the reaction solution was maintained in the range of 1 to 3 by the continuous addition of conc. HCl. After the addition of potassium cyanate was completed, the reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 4 hours and left at room temperature overnight. The brownish precipitate thus formed was collected by filtration and dried to obtain 3.7 g of the title compound.
