Procedure

A magnetically stirred mixture of veratraldehyde (9.00 g., 93% pure), hydantoin (5.00 g.), fused, anhydrous sodium acetate (10 g.) and glacial acetic acid (20 ml) was refluxed (bath temperature 160°-165°) for 1.5 hours (solution within 5 minutes, crystallization during heating period). On cooling, water was added. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour, refrigerated 2 hours, filtered, washed with water and dried overnight at 55°/10 mm. The title compound was obtained as a yellow solid: 4.72 g. (38% yield) m.p. 280°-282° .
