Procedure

Methanol (200 ml) was added to 5-(4-methyl-4-nitropentylidene)hydantoin (25.85 g, 114 mmol) and 27% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added to adjust the pH to 10 for dissolution. Palladium-carbon (1.1 g) and hydrogen were added for reduction. After the reaction, palladium-carbon was filtered off and methanol was evaporated by concentration under reduced pressure. Water (50 ml) was added and the pH was adjusted to 2 with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The precipitated crystals were separated and dried to give 5-(4-methyl-4-nitropentyl)hydantoin (19.02 g, 83 mmol, yield 72.9%).
