A mixture of trans-4-(2-cyano-3,3-dimethylguanidino)-3,4-dihydro-3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-6carbonitrile (0.76 g), methyl iodide (0.60 ml) and potassium carbonate (0.67 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (4 ml) was heated at 80.degree. C. for 5 hours. After cooling to the reaction mixture was added a mixture of ethyl acetate and water. The precipitate was cooled by filtration and recrystallized from ethanol to give trans-4-(2-cyano-1,3,3-trimethylguanidino)-3,4-dihydro-3-hydroxy-2,2- 0 dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-6-carbonitrile (0.11 g).

The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with 5% hydrochloric acid and brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo to give 4-(3-acetyl-2-cyanoiminoimidazolidin-1-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-6-carbonitrile (0.41 g).
