Abstract

The attempted synthesis of a β-keto imidazolidinone nitroxide by oxidation of the β-hydroxy imidazolidinone precursor with hydrogen peroxide and sodium tungstate led to an unexpected ring-opening reaction to produce 1,4-diazaspiro[4.5]dec-1-en-3-oxo-2-pentanoic acid 1-oxide (13) in high yield. The structure of 13 was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. A β-fragmentation mechanism is suggested for the oxidative ring-opening reaction.
