Reaction Steps

2.1 g (0.01 mol) of phosphorus pentachloride are dissolved in 2.5 ml phosphorus oxychloride and after the addition of 1.9 g (0.01 mol) of 5-nitro-1-methyl-benzimidazol-2-one the mixture is stirred for two hours at 125° C. The solvent is evaporated off, the residue is poured onto ice water and neutralised with ammonia. The precipitate formed is suction filtered and dried.
