Abstract
A tunable cascade reaction of ureidomalonates and alkenyl azlactones was disclosed, which gave rise to the construction of N-aroyl α-amino acid ester and imide-functionalized hydantoins in moderate to good yields and with excellent diastereoselectivities. The reaction pathway was precisely manipulated by organocatalysis and phase-transfer/sunlight relay catalysis, respectively, to realize the divergent synthesis. The successful gram-scale preparation of representative products exhibited the application potential of this protocol. Mechanistic studies indicated that the exchange and phase transfer of ethoxy anion played a key role in altering the reaction pathway, and sunlight might accelerate the oxidation process at the late stage of the reaction triggered by phase-transfer catalysis.

Tian D, Li ZC, Sun ZH, He YP, Xu LP, Wu H. Catalytic Enantioselective Biltz Synthesis. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202313797. [PMID: 37814442 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202313797] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Revised: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/11/2023]
Abstract
The Biltz synthesis establishes straightforward access to 5,5-disubstituted (thio)hydantoins by combining a 1,2-diketone and a (thio)urea. Its appealing features include inherent atom and step economy together with the potential to generate structurally diverse products. However, control of the stereochemistry of this reaction has proven to be a daunting challenge. Herein, we describe the first example of enantioselective catalytic Biltz synthesis which affords more than 40 thiohydantoins with high stereo- and regio-control, irrespective of the symmetry of thiourea structure. A one pot synthesis of corresponding hydantoins is also documented. Remarkably, experimental studies and DFT calculations establish the reaction pathway and origin of stereoselectivity.

Biologically Oriented Hybrids of Indole and Hydantoin Derivatives. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 28:molecules28020602. [PMID: 36677661 PMCID: PMC9866919 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28020602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
Indoles and hydantoins are important heterocycles scaffolds which present in numerous bioactive compounds which possess various biological activities. Moreover, they are essential building blocks in organic synthesis, particularly for the preparation of important hybrid molecules. The series of hybrid compounds containing indoles and imidazolidin-2-one moiety with direct C-C bond were synthesized using an amidoalkylation one-pot reaction. All compounds were investigated as a growth regulator for germination, growth and development of wheat seeds (Triticum aestivum L). Their effect on drought resistance at very low concentrations (4 × 10-5 M) was evaluated. The study highlighted identified the leading compounds, 3a and 3e, with higher growth-regulating activity than the indole-auxin analogues.

[PMID: 35628291 PMCID: PMC9143794 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23105481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2022] [Revised: 05/05/2022] [Accepted: 05/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
New tetrahydropyrazino[2,3-c]quinolin-5(6H)-ones were prepared from 3-chloroquinoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones and ethylene diamine. In their reaction with HNCO, an unprecedented molecular rearrangement produced new types of hydantoin derivatives. All prepared compounds were characterized on the basis of their 1H, 13C, and 15N NMR and ESI mass spectra and some were authenticated by X-ray analysis of single crystalline material. A proposed mechanism for rearrangement is discussed in this essay. The CDK and ABL inhibition activity as well as in vitro cytotoxicity of the prepared compounds was also tested.
