Diastereoselective synthesis of pyrrolo[1, 2‐c]imidazoles using chiral thiohydantoins, malononitrile, and aldehydes and evaluation of their antioxidant and antibacterial activities
Diastereoselectivesynthesis of pyrrolo[1,2‐c]imidazoles is reported from three‐component reaction of chiral thiohydantoins, aldehydes, and malononitrile in the presence of NEt3. The antioxidant properties of the obtained products were evaluated by 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay. Among the products, compound 4l possessing NH2 and NH groups and bromine atom at 4‐position
