Abstract

4-Oximino-3-aryl(alkyl)-5,5-dimethylimidazolidin-2-ones were obtained by air oxidation of substituted 4-hydroxyaminoimidazolidir-2-ones in the presence of sodium ethoxide. In hydrochloric acid 4-oximino-3-(3′, 4′-dichlorophenyl)imidazolidin-2-one gives the corresponding hydantoin, whereas 4-oximino-3-(1′-phenylethyl)-imidazolidin-2-one gives its E isomer with respect to the oxime group. The reduction of 4-oximino-3-alkylimidazolidin-2-ones with Raney alloy in 20% NaOH or hydrogenation on a palladium catalyst leads to 4-imino derivatives, whereas reduction of 4-oximino-3-aryl-5,5-dimethylimidazolidin-2-ones that contain chlorine atoms in their aromatic rings with sodium in liquid ammonia leads to their dehalogenation.
