Reaction Steps

A mixture of 25 parts of N-(3-pyridinylmethyl)-1,2-benzenediamine and 11 parts of urea is melted together to 180°-190° C. and the melt is stirred for 30 minutes at this temperature. The reaction mixture is cooled and dissolved in a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol. The solvent is evaporated and the residue is crystallized from 4-methyl-2-pentanone. The product is filtered off and dried, yielding 24 parts (86%) of 1,3-dihydro-1-(3-pyridinylmethyl)-2H-benzimidazol-2-one; mp. 160.5° C.
