Synthesis, X-ray crystallography and antimicrobial activity of 2-cyanoguanidinophenytoin
Abstract The optimized synthesis of [5-oxo-4,4-diphenylimidazolidin-2-ylidene]cyanamide, which is known as 2-cyanoguanidinophenytoin (CNG-DPH) (3), and (imidazo[4,5-d]imidazole-2,5-diylidine)dicyanamide (4) has been reported in the present work.Furthermore, new Mannich bases derived from CNG-DPH were synthesized via its reaction with formaldehyde a
