A solution of 10 g (0.0568 mol) of 4-nitrophenyl isocyanate in 50 cm3 of benzene is then added at room temperature. The solution is stirred vigorously for two hours whilst maintaining the pH at around 10 by successive addition of a concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. The weak precipitate formed is eliminated by filtration and the filtrate is washed with 3×50 cm3 of ethyl ether. The aqueous phase is then acidified and extracted with ethyl acetate, which makes it possible to obtain, after drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate and after concentration, 13.4 g (yield 76%) of a yellow solid of which the melting point is 118°-120° C.
