The product of Example 1, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-chloro-4-cyano-3-propyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-one (V) (0.75 g, 2.5 mmol), was stirred in 25 mL of dimethylformamide. To this mixture was added KCN (0.5 g, 7.5 mmol) and the resulting mixture was heated to reflux for ten minutes, cooled, poured onto water, and extracted three times with 50 mL ethyl acetate. This material was then dried, filtered, and evaporated via standard techniques to give 0.38 g of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,5-dicyano-3-propyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-one (VI) recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane (m.p. 163°-5° C.).
