Reaction Steps

14.9 parts by weight of N-chlorocarbonyl-imidazolid-2-one were introduced into 70 parts by volume of ice-cold methanol and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature and subsequently for 1 hour at 40°-50° C. After the excess methanol had been stripped off, the residue was recrystallized from acetone.
