The same reaction procedure as described for the prep-
aration of 6 was applied. The crude product (Rf 0.47,
eluent B) was recrystallised from EtOAc–hexane to give
pure 9 as white needles (1.33g, 44% yield); mp 229–
A magnetically stirred solution of hydantoin 4 (5.45g,
10mmol) in diluted acetic acid (75%, 75mL) was heated
at 60°C for 3h and then at 70°C for 16h. After cooling
to rt, the separated triphenylmethanol was filtered off
and the solvent was evaporated to dryness under dimin-
ished pressure and co-evaporated twice with toluene.
The residue was chromatographed on a column of silica
gel with eluent C. The fractions having Rf 0.42 were col-
lected and evaporated to give pure 7 (1.65g, 63% yield).
Analytical sample (white needles) was obtained by re-
crystallisation from EtOH; mp 203–204°C; [a]D +93 (c

The same reaction procedure as described for the prep-
aration of 7 was applied. The fractions having Rf 0.32
(eluent C) from the column chromatography were col-
lected and evaporated. Recrystallisation of the product
from EtOH gave pure 10 as white needles (1.70g, 65%
yield); mp 36–37°C; [a]D +48 (c 1, H2O); NMR: 1H

A mixture of hydantoin 7 (1.31g, 5mmol), barium
hydroxide octahydrate (4.73g, 15mmol) and water
(50mL) was heated under reflux for 6h. Carbon dioxide
gas was then passed to the hot reaction mixture. The sep-
arated 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 room
temperature, another portion of barium carbonate
separated. Filtration and decolourising with charcoal
gave clear solution. Water was evaporated under dimin-
ished pressure and the residual solid was purified on a
short column of silica gel (eluent E). Fractions with Rf
0.68 (eluent E) were collected and evaporated to afford
8 (391mg, 33%). Analytical sample (white solid) was
obtained by recrystallisation from water–methanol;
