Sulfuric Acid → HCID 178526276, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

8.4 g. of 1-benzyloxy-2-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)imino]imidazolidine in 30 ml. of glacial acetic acid and 2.5 ml. of concentrated sulfuric acid are hydrogenated under normal pressure in the presence of 300 mg. of platinum oxide. After the uptake of hydrogen has ended, the catalyst is filtered off and the filtrate is evaporated. The residue is dissolved in water and the solution is rendered alkaline with sodium carbonate. The precipitate which has formed is filtered off, washed with a little water and dried in vacuo, whereupon 2-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)imino]-1-hydroxyimidazolidine, m.p. 215°-216°, is obtained.
