In 20 ml of chloroform, 0.8 g of 2-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-bis(4-diethylaminophenyl)imidazole obtained in Example 1 (2) was dissolved. Then, 0.7 g of ethoxycarbonyl isocyanate (mfd. by Aldrich Chemical Co. Inc.) was added to the resulting solution and the reaction was carried out at room temperature for 5 hours with stirring. After the reaction, 5 ml of methanol was added to the reaction solution to decompose excess ethoxycarbonyl isocyanate, followed by removal of the solvent by distillation under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate and n-hexane) to give 0.6 g of green crystals of 1-(ethoxycarbonylaminocarbonyl)-2-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-bis(4-diethylaminophenyl)imidazol having a m.p. of 60° C.
