The water formed in the reaction is removed by azeotropic distillation. After 30 minutes' distillation, a limpid solution is obtained. After cooling to about 15° C, the precipitate formed is filtered off and washed on the filter with ethanol (25 cc.) at 10° C. After drying, 3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-hydantoin (22.2 g.) melting at 199° C is obtained. Yield: 90.5%.
