    Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain the titled compound useful as a raw material for synthesizing vitamin B1 in high yield, by reacting a propanenitrile compound with an amidine compound by the use of methanol as a solvent under pressure at a specific temperature and hydrolyzing. CONSTITUTION:A propanenitrile compound shown by formula I (R and R are lower alkyl) is reacted with an amidine compound shown by formula II (R is lower alkyl) are subjected to ring closure reaction in methanol as a solvent by the use of an autoclave under pressure (e.g. 1.5-4.0kg/cm G) approximately at 75-105 deg.C, preferably 80-100 deg.C. Then the prepared reaction solution is hydrolyzed to give a compound shown by formula III. The hydrolysis is carried out by distilling away methanol, adding an organic solvent to the residual solution, adding a proper amount of water to the solution of the organic solvent and pouring an acid. The amount of the methanol used is 1-20 times as much as the total amount of the raw materials shown by formula I and formula II by weight.
