Procedure

After blending together a press cake of 3,3'-dichlorobenzidine hydrochloride in an amount corresponding to 300 parts of the 3,3,'-dichlorobenzidine expressed by Formula (1) with 372 parts of 35% hydrochloric acid, 3000 parts of water and 1500 parts of ice, an aqueous solution of 172 parts of sodium nitrite was added under exposure to ice to obtain a tetrazo solution of 3,3'-dichlorobenzidine. 16.4 parts of the 4-acetoacetylamino benzamide expressed by Formula (3) were added to this 3,3'-dichlorobenzidine tetrazo solution, then the result was mixed for three hours to obtain a reaction intermediate (b2).
