Synthetical Application of Alkyl 2-isothiocyanatocarboxylates. A Simple Synthesis of 5-Substituted-3-amino-2-thioxo-4-imidazolidinones (3-Amino-2-thiohydantoins)

Abstract

Abstract:The title 3-amino-2-thiohydantoins 3 has been prepared in very good yields by the reaction of alkyl isothiocynatocarboxylates 1 with hydrazine hydrate.The synthesis of starting isothiocyanates as well as spectral data of 3-aminothiohydantoins and alkyl isothiocyanatocarboxylates has been presented.
