With stirring, 169.2 g (1 mole) of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)dimethylmaleimide, 113.4 g (1.2 moles) of chloroacetic acid and 11.8 g of concentrated sulfuric acid are heated to reflux in 1000 ml of toluene using a water separator. The formation of water ceases after about 2 hours and 18 ml have separated. The reaction solution is washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and water. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in a rotary evaporator at 40° C. The residue is dried for 2 hours at 60° C./0.1 mm, affording 206 g of a colourless liquid.
