Hydantoins of the formula STR1 wherein R1 is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, R2 is STR2 R3 is alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and X is a straight or branched chain alkylene of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a straight or branched chain alkylene of 3 to 6 carbon atoms containing an internal carbamido group; or R1 and R2 together are Y where Y is a straight or branched chain alkylene of 4 to 8 carbon atoms having a pendant STR3 moiety are prepared by reacting first α,β-unsaturated aldehydes or ketones with alkyl phosphites to form a phosphonate aldehyde or ketone followed by a classical Bucherer hydantoin synthesis. These compounds are intermediates for the preparation of polyglycidyl compounds useful in making flame-retardant epoxy resins. These hydantoins are also intermediates useful in preparing flame-retardant polyesters and polyurethanes.
