Abstract
A diastereoselective Strecker reaction using (R)-(-)-phenylglycinol forms the basis of a concise scalemic route to dialkylhydantoin 1. The phenylglycinol functionality was exploited in the manipulation of the aminonitrile Strecker product through to the dialkylhydantoin via a short, efficient sequence involving crystalline intermediates.
