1 was treated with aqueous ammonia
solution (30%, specific gravity = 0.89) at room temperature as per reaction
time mentioned in Scheme 1. The precipitate of product formed was filtered
and dried to get the 2-iminohydantoins 2.

26. General experimental procedure for synthesis of bicycloiminohydantoin (5). The
reaction of N-cyano proline methyl ester 4 takes place with aqueous ammonia
(30%, specific gravity = 0.89) at room temperature in 30 min to give
bicycloiminohydantoin 5. The product was obtained by the evaporation of
solvent which gave colorless solid. The pure product was obtained by the
recrystallization using methanol and diethyl ether (30:70).
