Reaction Steps

To 5-chloro-6-nitro-1,3-dihydro-benzoimidazol-2-one (5.63 g, 26.35 mmol) was added phosphorus oxychloride (35 mL) and the reaction mixture was heated to 85° C. for 36 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue triturated with cold saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (to pH 8, 0.8 L). The resulting precipitate was collected and dried to yield the titled compound (5.43 g, 89% yield). MS (ESI/CI): mass calcd. for C7H3Cl2N3O2, 231.0; m/z found, 232.0 [M+H]+.
