A high yield synthesis of phenytoin and related compounds using microwave activation
A reaction system is described to synthesize phenytoin, a major antiepileptic drug, and structurally related compounds using a two-step approach. The first step involves the treatment of a benzil derivative by thiourea in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) i [...]
