Dimethylhydantoin → HCID 20530782, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

25 mg of lithium chloride are added to 5.25 g (0.02 mol) of 3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl-oxirane and 2.56 g (0.02 mol) of 5,5-dimethylhydantoin and the mixture is kept as a melt at 220°-230°C for 60 minutes whilst stirring in a nitrogen atmosphere. After cooling, a glassy residue is obtained, which when recrystallised from toluene/isopropanol gives 6.2 g (78% of theory) of 3-[2-hydroxy-3(3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propyl] -5,5-dimethylhydantoin of melting point 175°-76°C in the form of colourless crystals.
