(Chemical Equation Presented) Carbodiimides and suitably activated α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids react effectively to afford a vast array of 1,3,5-trisubstituted hydantoins by means of a regiospecific domino condensation/aza-Michael/N→O acyl migration. The reaction works well in very mild conditions (20°C, dichloromethane) with fumaric acid derivatives bearing an electron-withdrawing group in the β position. Good results have been obtained also with less activated substrates bearing only one electron-withdrawing group in the β position, using more polar solvents (acetonitrile, DMF), and in the presence of a base (2,4,6-trimethylpyridine). Reactions with asymmetric carbodiimides are generally highly chemo- and regioselective, giving rise to the formation of a single regioisomeric hydantoin. However, asymmetric carbodiimides bearing one alkyl group and one aryl group can produce variable amounts of N-acylurea byproducts. The latter could be easily recovered and transformed into the corresponding hydantoins. A detailed study of the influence of key reaction parameters such as solvent, base, and structure of the reactants on the reaction outcome and mechanism is presented. This methodology is particularly convenient for the synthesis of trifluoromethyl-substituted hydantoins, which could be interesting as bioactive compounds in medicinal chemistry, as well as precursors of the corresponding α-amino acids.
