Abstract

A process for producing 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone with a high yield which comprises reacting N,N'-dimethylethylene diamine and/or its hydrochloride with phosgene in the presence of a substantial amount of water and a dehydrochlorinating agent. Particularly, higher yield is attained by carrying out the reaction in water medium while controlling a pH to the range of 3.0 to 10.0 by adding a dehydrochlorinating agent.
