151 g (0.6 mol) of ethyl N-(2-chloroallyl)-N-(2,2-dimethoxyethyl)-carbamate are heated under reflux for 3 hours with 60 ml of formic acid in 1.2 1 of water. The mixture is saturated with sodium chloride, and the aqueous phase is separated off and extracted twice with 300 ml of methylene chloride each time.
