Abstract
Studies on the synthesis of 4,5-dihydroxyimidazolidin-2-ones (-thiones) based on the condensation of ureas or thioureas with glyoxal or 1,2-dioxo-1,2-diphenylethane showed high diastereoselectivity in the formation of racemates (trans-diastereomers) of 4,5-dihydroxyimidazolidin-2-ones (-thiones) and meso-forms (cis-diastereomers) of 4,5-dihydroxy-4,5-diphenyl-1,3-dialkylimidazolidine-2-thiones; plausible mechanisms of their formation were suggested. X-ray diffraction studies confirmed structures of diastereomers for separate examples of racemates and meso-forms of 4,5-dihydroxyimidazolidin-2-ones (-thiones).
