Reaction Steps

2,800 g cyclohexanecarbaldehyde, 1,500 g urea, 25 ml N-methylpyrrolidone, 0.017 g palladium(II) bromide, 0.033 g triphenylphosphane, 0.100 g sulfuric acid and 0.760 g lithium bromide are reacted in a 300 ml autoclave under 60 bar at 100C. After a reaction time of 12 hours, the solvent is removed in vacuo and the residue is analyzed by means of high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). 3,200 g 5-cyclohexyl-hydantoin are formed. This corresponds to a yield of 70%.
