Reaction Steps

Aniline (15.40 g; 0.165 mole) and 2-oxazolidone (9.60 g; 0.110 mole) were refluxed for 6.5 hours with 1.00 g (0.0125 mole) of titanium dioxide (Harshaw Ti 0720 which had been calcined at 300° C. for 4 hours). The reaction mass was cooled to 0° C. and the crystals which had formed were filtered off. The crystals were recrystallized from ethanol to give N-phenylimidazolidone in 47% yield. The conversion based on 2-oxazolidone was 99%.
