et aZ.2 For the preparation of 1-alkyl- arid 1-aryl-5(5-nitro - 2-furyl) tetrazoles (compounds 2a-m) the method of Harvill, et u L . , ~ was utilized. The synthesis of the tetrhzoles proceeded smoothly in all cases except when 3n was used as the starting amide. I n that instance, the product isolated from the reaction mixture (4) was not the expected tetrazole, but a compound having a n imino chloride structure. This compound was unusually stable and resisted reaction with solutions of sodium azide and hydrazoic acid. Screening Results.-The in tlitro antibacterial testing data, given in Table I, mere determined using methods described p r e v i ~ u s l y . ~Data for nitrofurazone5 are included for comparison. S o n e of the compounds prepared possessed activity that was significantly better than that of nitrofurazone.

At first a very exothermic reaction occurred which quickly subsided. Stirring was continued for 3 hr a t 100'. The solvent was removed under redured pressure. After the residue was dissolved in water, the solution was acidified to pH 2 with concentrated HCl. .4 black, tarry mass formed which slowly crystallized upon cooling.

The reaction mixture was refluxed for 1 hr and poured into a large volume of water. After collecting, the product was recrystallized from 2-propanol (charcoal).

The stirring was continued while 5-1iitro-2furoyl chloride (350 g, 2 moles) in ethylene chloride (1000 ml) was added. Stirring was continued for 3 hr, and the mixture was allowed to st,arid overnight a t room temperatiire. The mixtiire was filtered and the two layers were separated.

The aryl derivatives (2g-m) were prepared in a similar manner. However, after the addition of PClj, it was necessary to heat the mixture to affect the formation of the imino chloride intermediate.

The imide hydrogen of the hydantoin ring has been found sufficiently acidic t o undergo aminoethylation in an alcoholic solution. Thus, the reaction of 5,j-diphenylhydantoin with ethylenimine produced S3-(2aminoethyl)-5,5-dipheiiylhydantoin (I) in good yield. That the 2-aminoethyl group is located a t 9-3 and riot a t S-1 is suggested by the insolubility of I in aqueous alkali and from the observation that basic hydrolysis of I produced the amino acid, diphenylglycine. Infrared and nmr data also support structure I. Corral and Orazi have shown that the chemical shift of a hydantoin proton located at the S-1position occurs a t a higher field than that of a corresponding S-3 p r o t o ~ i . ~The Sl-H signal of I was coincident with that of the aromatic ring proton signal and was observable in the integration. h number of examples of ethylenimine reacting with compounds containing an active hydrogen are described to form the corresponding 2-aminoethyl derivative, but apparently the only reported example with a hydantoin describes the preparation of the benzoate salt of S3-(2-aminoethyl)-5,5-diphenylhydantoin. The free amine (I) was riot isolated and characterized. We have prepared the benzoate salt of I and obtained a melting point considerably different from that rep ~ r t e d . ~ S3-(2-Benzamidoethyl)-5,5-diphenylhydan(1) Taken in part from t h e 31.6.Thesis of J.
