The paper presents the synthesis and photoinduced enol/keto tautomerization as well as E/Z photoswitching behavior of four 3-amino-5,5′-dimethyl- and -5,5′-diphenylhydantoin Schiff base derivatives containing 2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl and 1-naphthyl moieties.

Herein, the synthesis and characterization of four novel 5,5′-diphenylhydantoin Schiff bases containing different aromatic species are presented. Their structure-property relationship was studied by X-ray, optical and electrochemical methods as well as DFT calculations in terms of their E/Z photoisomerization and enol/keto phototaumerization. The big challenge in photoinduced motion is achieving control and stability over the two isomers. Solvent-driven bidirectional photoswitching behavior was studied in nonpolar 1,4-dioxane and polar aprotic DMF. T-type photochromism in 1,4-DOX and opposite behavior in DMF as P-type switches (bistable system) were observed. The obtained results lead to a conclusion that by variation of the solvent environment a direct control over the bidirectional switching behaviour from T-type to P-type can be achieved.

Hydantoins, thiohydantoins, and glycocyamidines have been prepared in moderate to excellent yields at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. 3N-amino and carboamide derivatives of hydantoin (7-8) were prepared in single step by condensing benzil with semicarbazide and biuret respectively.
