An alternative procedure for the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted-3,5-dihydro-imidazol-4-ones from substituted oxazolones was evaluated. The initial oxazolone ring-opening reaction was examined with a variety of ammonia source compounds followed by the subsequent 3,5-dihydro-imidazol-4-one cyclization reaction, which was carried out with either an organic or inorganic base in aprotic solvents. In this article, we report the results of an efficient and straightforward procedure for the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted-3,5-dihydro-imidazol-4-ones that gives satisfactory yield and quality.
