The reaction is preferably conducted in N-methylpyrrolidone in view of its solubility, but any solvent which does not participate in the reaction may be used. After the completion of reaction, the compounds of the formula (III) may be isolated from the mixture by usual methods. For example, aqueous ammonia is added to the mixture, which is extracted with organic solvent and the solvent is evaporated to obtain the compounds of the formula (III).
