A mixture of hydantoin 6 (1.44 g, 5 mmol), barium
hydroxide octahydrate (4.73 g, 15 mmol) and water (50
mL) was heated under reflux for 6 h. Carbon dioxide gas
was then passed to the hot reaction mixture. The
separated barium carbonate was removed by filtration
and washed with hot water. Carbon dioxide gas was
again passed to the hot solution and after cooling to rt,
another portion of barium carbonate separated. Filtra-
tion and decolourising with charcoal gave clear solution.
Water was evaporated under diminished pressure and
the residual solid was purified on a short column of
silica gel (eluent D). Fractions with Rf 0.50 (eluent D)
were collected and evaporated to afford 7 (474 mg,
36%). Analytical sample (white solid) was obtained by
The fractions having Rf 0.59 (eluent B) from the above
column chromatography were collected and evaporated.

3.6. (5?R)-5?-Isobutyl-5?-[methyl (4R)-b-L-
erythrofuranosid-4-C-yl]-imidazolidin-2?,4?-dione (6)
A suspension of hydantoin 4 (3.28 g, 10 mmol) in diluted
AcOH (70%, 50 mL) was heated at 80 8C for 75 min.
The reaction mixture became clear during the first 15
min. The solvent was evaporated to dryness under
diminished pressure and co-evaporated twice with
toluene. The residual white solid was dissolved in EtOAc
(30 mL), treated with charcoal, filtered and solvent
evaporated. Recrystallisation of the product from
