A mixture of 2.0 g of of 1-diethoxymethyl-2-nitroiminoimidazolidine, 0.92 g of o-toluidine, 5 ml of THF and 0.12 g of a boron trifluoride ether complex was heated under reflux for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was poured into water, extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, dried and condensed.
