S(=O)(=O)(O)O.[CH3:6][C:7]1[NH:8][CH:9]=[CH:10][N:11]=1.NC(N)=O.[N+:16]([O-])([OH:18])=[O:17]>O>[CH3:6][C:7]1[NH:8][CH:9]=[C:10]([N+:16]([O-:18])=[O:17])[N:11]=1A mixture of 330 parts of sulfuric acid (36 percent by weight), 100 parts of 2-methylimidazole, 50 parts of urea, 283 parts of nitric acid (31 percent by weight) and 153 parts of water is kept for 6.5 hours in a distillation vessel, equipped with a stirrer, at from 123° to 130° C. During the reaction, 20 parts of 30 percent strength by weight nitric acid distill off. The reaction mixture is then diluted with a 3.5-fold volume of water whilst cooling and is neutralized to pH 3-4 with ammonia solution. The 2-methyl-4-nitroimidazole which separates out is centrifuged off, washed, dried and recrystallized from water. 138 parts of 2-methyl-4-nitroimidazole (89.0% of theory) of melting point 145°-146° C. are obtained.
