5,5-bis(4'-iodophenyl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione was prepared either by direct iodination of 5,5-diphenyl imidazolidin-2,4-dione (phenytoin) or through the iodination of phenytoin intermediates (benzoin and benzil) and follow-up the standard procedure used for conversion of them to phenytoin. The targeted compound was evaluated and compared with the antimicrobial activity of phenytoin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
