Three-Component, One-Pot Sequential Synthesis of 1,3-Disubstituted 5-Arylhydantoins

Abstract
Reaction of carbodiimides with α-Br(Cl)-aryl acetic acids produces N,N′-substituted 5-arylhydantoins under very mild conditions and high yields. When the carbodiimides are generated in situ by Staudinger reaction, the process becomes a one-pot, three-component sequential synthesis of libraries of differently substituted 5-arylhydantoins.

References and Notes
The reaction was carried out in dioxane because carbodiimide 2f was insoluble in CH2Cl2.
12The lower yields obtained with N,N′-dialkylcarbodiimides in the three-component process are probably due to lower yields in the Staudinger reaction.
