Abstract

Of the three hydantoin-acetic acids theoretically possible two have already been described in the literature, namely, hydantoin-5-acetic acid3 I11 (“malyureidsaure”), and hydantoin-1- acetic acid4 I. In this paper we shall describe a method of preparing the third representative of this series, namely, hydantoin-3-acetic acid 11. This compound is of immediate biological interest as it is the simplest representative of the NH-CO HOOCCHzN-CO NII-CO
