Procedure

13.2 gm of N-(2-hydroxy-propyl)-benzimidazolone were dissolved in 150 ml of dioxane, and after addition of 8 ml of SOCl2 the mixture was refluxed for one hour. After evaporation in vacuo, the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, and the solution was washed with a sodium bicarbonate solution and water, and dried over Na2SO4. After distilling off the solvent, 13.4 gm of N-(2-chloro-propyl)-benzimidazolone were obtained.
