Several 1‐(2‐arylcthyl)hydantoins 2 have been cyclized through their 5‐bromo derivatives. The hydantoins 2a and 2b , unsubstituted in the 5‐posilion, require stannic chloride catalysis of the cyclization to 3a and 3b , respectively. However, the 5‐phenyl analog 2c (n = 2) cyclizes spontaneously and essentially quantitatively to 5 during bromination. This reaction is limited to the formation of a 6‐membered ring.
