Reaction Steps

Doyle et al, J. Chem. Soc. 1955, 2265-73 (Chemical Abstracts 1956, 50, 8602g at 8603b) teach the preparation of 5-iso-propylidenehydantoin via the reaction of acetone with 2-thiohydantoin in piperdine to yield 5-iso-propylidene-2-thiohydantoin which is then desulfurized with chloroacetic acid to yield 5-iso-propylidenehydantoin.
