Abstract
Bis-Boc-activated 2,5-diketopiperazines on reaction with potassium hydroxide or sodium methoxide in dry tetrahydrofuran led to Boc-protected hydantoins through an unprecedented ring contraction. This rearrangement was applied to several monosubstituted 2,5-diketopiperazines with good yields and regioselectivity.
