Abstract
A novel one-pot rearrangement reaction, involving sequential epoxide rearrangement, condensation, cyclization and phenyl migration took place when 2,3-epoxydiphenyl ketones were treated with guanidine hydrochloride or urea in the presence of a base like sodium hydride and new type of imidazolone derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields.
Key words
one-pot - epoxydiphenyl ketones - rearrangement - guanidine - imidazolone

References and Notes
General Procedure for Preparation for 3,5-Disubstituted Imidazolones: Typical experimental procedure for synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted imidazolones as exemplified for 2a. Guanidine hydrochloride (95.5 mg, 1 mmol) was added to a solution of 2,3-epoxydiphenyl ketone (334 mg, 1 mmol) in anhyd THF (10 mL). To this was added NaH (48 mg, 2 mmol) at r.t. After 30 min, the reaction mixture was stirred at reflux temperature for 5 h; TLC analysis indicated that the reaction was complete. The reaction mixture was filtered, solvent was removed by rotatory evaporator and the residue passed through a silica gel column (CHCl3-MeOH) afforded 2a (315 mg, 72%) as a white solid; mp 281-284 °C. 1H NMR (600 MHz, DMSO-d
