A photochemical deracemization of 5-substituted 3-phenylimidazolidine-2,4-diones (hydantoins) is reported (27 examples, 69%-quant., 80–99% ee). The reaction is catalyzed by a chiral diarylketone which displays a two-point hydrogen bonding site. Mechanistic evidence (DFT calculations, radical clock experiments, H/D labeling) suggests the reaction to occur by selective hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). Upon hydrogen binding, one substrate enantiomer displays the hydrogen atom at the stereogenic center to the photoexcited catalyst allowing for a HAT from the substrate and eventually for its conversion into the product enantiomer. The product enantiomer is not processed by the catalyst and is thus enriched in the photostationary state.

A microwave-assisted synthesis of 3,5- and 1,3,5-substituted hydantoins starting from various resins for solid-phase combinatorial chemistry has been developed. The hydantoins were synthesized from pre-loaded resins with amino acids via treatment with isocyanate or phenylisocyanate and subsequent intramolecular cyclization. Both reactions were performed under microwave irradiation. We studied the cyclative cleavage leading to hydantoin compounds dependent on the nature of the amino acid and the nucleofuge properties of the resin.
