Traceless synthesis of hydantoin by focused microwave irradiation

An efficient, microwave-assisted method for the liquid-phase combinatorial synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted hydantoin has been developed. Chloroacetyl chloride was directly anchored to HO-PEG-OH and subsequently reacted with various primary amines in a microwave cavity. The PEG bound secondary amine coupled with isocyanates and concomitant cyclization-cleavage step occurred in mild basic conditions by microwave flash heating. The desired products were then liberated from the soluble matrix in modest yield and high purity.

Copper-Mediated N-Arylations of Hydantoins

A set of two broadly applicable procedures for the N-arylation of hydantoins is reported. The first one relies on the use of stoichiometric copper(I) oxide under ligand- A nd base-free conditions and enables a clean regioselective arylation at the N3 nitrogen atom, while the second one is based on the use of catalytic copper(I) iodide and trans-N,N′-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine and promotes arylation at the N1 nitrogen atom. Importantly, the combination of these two procedures affords a straightforward entry to diarylated hydantoins.

BASE CATALYZED CYCLIZATION OF SUBSTITUTED ESTERS OF HYDANTOIC AND THIOHYDANTOIC ACID

Base catalyzed cyclization rates have been measured of 22 derivatives of hydantoic and thiohydantoic acid esters in water and methanol.The cyclization of methyl and ethyl esters of hydantoic and 5-methylhydantoic acids is accompanied by hydrolysis of the ester group, whereas with the other derivatives the hydrolysis does not take place.Hydrolysis of the cyclization products (hydantoin and thiohydantoin derivatives) is not significant under the kinetic conditions.The cyclization of methyl ester of 5-phenylhydantoic acid in methanol is reversible; the equilibrium mixture contains 30percent of the starting ester.In all the cases the cyclization is subject to specific base catalysis; exceptions are esters of 5-phenylthiohydantoic and 5-phenyl-2-methylthiohydantoic acids whose cyclizations are subject to general base catalysis.Substituents always accelerate the cyclization.The 3-substituents have the greatest effects, the cyclization rate being considerably increased with bulk of the substituents; similarly large effect of 5-phenyl group consists mainly in its polar effects on the pre-equilibrium.The cyclizations are slower in methanol at the same concentration of the lyate ion: the greatest difference (up to 3 orders of magnitude) is observed with the 5-phenyl derivatives.
