N-Iodosuccinimide → HCID 15230229, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-benzyl-3-propargyl-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (1.2 g, 4.6 mmole) in acetone (50 mL) at room temperature was added finely ground silver nitrate (0.15 g. 0.8 mmole), followed by N-iodosuccinimide (1.16 g, 5.2 mmole). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hr. The reaction mixture was then passed through Celite by suction filtration and washed with acetone. The titrate was concentrated on a rotary evaporator and diluted with ethyl acetate. The solution was washed with water and brine and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated on a rotary evaporator to give 1.5 g of 1-benzyl-3-(3-iodo-2-propynyl)-5,5-dimethylhydantoin as a solid, mp=109°-112° C. An NMR spectrum also showed the desired structure.
