A new method based on the reaction of an E-phosphazide, ail intermediate in the Staudinger reaction between triphenylphosphine with an azide, with heterocumulenes allows the one-pot, two-component synthesis of a number of analogs of the pyrrole-imidazole marine alkaloid midpacamide. The procedure, which involves sequential treatment of the appropriate alpha-azido ester with triphenylphosphine and isothiocyanate leads to the thiohydantoin product after aqueous workup. The cyclization conditions call also be adapted to the synthesis of hydantoins by using isocyanates. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
