After stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes, the dimethylformamide was removed at 60° C. under vacuum. Then, 1 liter of water was added to the residue and the mixture was extracted with two 1.5 liter portions of ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate extract was washed with two 700 ml. portions of water, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated under vacuum. After recrystallization of the residue from alcohol, there was obtained N-ethyl-2,6-dimethoxy-4-(methoxycarbonyl)-carbanilic acid benzyl ester having a melting point of 85°-86° C.
