Hi i found more than 50 years old murexide, but i think it's looks good. I want to make alloxan from murexide. What is best way? Does anyone have idea?

Probably you could feed it into this prep: http://orgsyn.org/demo.aspx?prep=CV3P0037

With any luck, the NOx produced will destroy the imine nitrogen after hydrolysis
