Sodium (0.41 g, 0.018 g atom) was dissolved in ethanol (40 mL) and diethyl 2,4-dioxoimidazolidine-5-phosphonate (4.21 g, 18 mmol) added. After 5 minutes, 2,3-dimethyl-6-nitrobenzaldehyde (2.66 g, 15 mmol) was added in one portion and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 90 minutes. The mixture was diluted with water, filtered and the solid washed with water and air dried gave 5-[(2,3-dimethyl-6-nitrophenyl)methylene]-2,4-imidazolidinedione as a single geometrical isomer (3.35 g, 86%). Analytical sample prepared by crystallization from methanol had m.p. 293°-295° C.
