Participants

Reaction Steps

The potassium salt of 2,4-imidazolinedione (hydantoin; 5.5 g, 0.04 mole; prepared as in Example 44) was reacted with 1,3-dibromopropane (14.3 ml, 0.14 mole) in 50 ml of dimethylformamide for 16 hours at room temperature and then for 2 hours at reflux. The reaction mixture was filtered, evaporated to dryness, and the residue recrystallized from isopropyl alcohol (950 mg, m.p. 103°-106° C., m/e 222/220).
