Several novel dextrotatory spiro-hydantoin compounds have been obtained by resolving the corresponding dl-compounds which are initially synthesized by first condensing the appropriate carbonyl ring compound, such as the corresponding 4-chromanone or thiochroman-4-one, as the case may be, with potassium cyanide and ammonium carbonate. The resulting optically-active hydantoin derivatives, such as d-6-fluoro-spiro-[chroman-4,4'-imidazolidine]-2',5'-dione and d-6'-fluoro-spiro-[imidazolidine-4,4'-thiochroman]-2,5-dione, are particularly useful in preventing or alleviating chronic diabetic complications. |
