In 110 ml. of nitrobenzene, 7.6 g. (0.029 mole) of 2-(1-methyl-5-nitro-2-imidazolecarboximidoyl)-1-amidinohydrazine hydrochloride is stirred at reflux temperature for 2 3/4 hours, cooled, and the solid collected. This solid is washed with ethyl alcohol, ether, and air-dried to give 6 g. of the title compound, melting point 278°-280° (dec.).
