o739~7 Example fo~ process variant A bL
2.11 1-Methyl-2-(4-dimethylamino-methyleneimino-phenyl-oxymethyl)-5-nitro-imidazole 24.8 g (0.1 mol) of 1-methyl-2-(4-aminophenyl-oxyme-thyl)-nitro-imidazole were suspended in 250 ml of pyridine, 25 g (excess) of dimethylformamide-diethyl acetate were added and '.he reaction mixture was heated under reflux for
3 hours. The reaction medium pyridine was then distilled off under reduced pressure, the residue was recrystallized from alcohol while adding charcoal. According to this pro-.. . . .
cess, 24.0 g (79 % of the theory) of 1-methyl-2-(4-dimethyl-; amino-methylene-imino-phenyl-oxymethyl)-5-nitro-imidazole were obtained; which melted at 145C.
