Reaction Steps

In the manner described in Example (1a) 36.9 g (0.01 mol) of 2-(benzhydrylformyl)-amino-3-oxo-succinic acid dimethyl ester (prepared by reacting (benzhydrylformyl)-aminoacetic acid methyl ester with oxalic acid dimethyl ester in the presence of sodium methylate) were reacted with 18 g of potassium thiocyanate for 48 hours at 50° C. The 1-benzhydryl-2-mercapto-4,5-dimethoxycarbonyl-imidazole formed crystallized on adding hexane. Yield 33.2 g (87% of the theory), m.p. 154° C.
