Upon completion, stirring is continued first for 1 hour at room temperature and further for 24 hours at reflux temperature. After cooling to room temperature, the product is extracted with trichloromethane. The extract is washed with a hydrochloric acid solution 5%, dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue is crystallized from 4-methyl-2-pentanone, yielding 19.5 parts (31%) of 1,3-dihydro-1-(3-hydroxypropyl)-5-methyl-2H-benzimidazol2-one; mp. 114.1° C.
