Abstract

1,5-Disubstituted hydantoins/thiohydantoins have been synthesized in good yield by a microwave-promoted solvent-free condensation of arylglyoxals and phenylurea/thiourea using polyphosphoric ester (PPE) as a reaction mediator. The workup is simple and involves treatment with ice-cold water.
