The eco-friendly preparation of 5- and 5,5-disubstituted hydantoins from various amino ester hydrochlorides and potassium cyanate in a planetary ball-mill is described. The one-pot/two-step protocol consisted in the formation of ureido ester intermediates, followed by a base-catalyzed cyclization to hydantoins. This easy-handling mechanochemical methodology was applied to a large variety of α- and β-amino esters, in smooth conditions, leading to hydantoins in good yields and with no need of purification steps. As an example, the methodology was applied to the "green" synthesis of the antiepileptic drug Phenytoin, with no use of any harmful organic solvent.
Synthesis of 1S,5R- and 1R,5S-glycoluriles by diastereospecific α-ureidoalkylation of (S)/(R)-N-carbamoyl-α-amino acids with 4,5-dihydroxyimidazolidin-2-one

A diastereospecific method for the synthesis of individual enantiomers of 1S,5R- and 1R,5S-glycoluriles has been developed based on the α-ureidoalkylation of (S)/(R)-N-carbamoyl-α-amino acids with 4,5-dihydroxyimidazolidin-2-one.
