Synthesis and Structural Characterization of (S)-Tetrahydro-Pyrrol-[1,2,c]-Imidazole-1,3-Dione

In this work we present the synthesis and X-ray single crystal structural characterization of the heterocyclic compound (S)-tetrahydro-pyrrol-[1,2,c]-imidazole-1,3-dione. This material crystallize in the orthorhombic system with space group P212121 (No19), Z=4, and unit cell parameters a = 7.136(1) , b = 8.009(2) , c = 11.378(2) . The molecular structure shows a hydantoin and pyrrolidine ring coupling forming a bicyclohydantoin. The crystal packing is governed by N--H···O hydrogen bond-type intermolecular interactions, forming infinite one-dimensional chains.
