Abstract

A teaching laboratory protocol was developed for the implementation of an ultrasound-assisted continuous-flow synthesis of 5,5-diphenylhydantoin, a drug used for epilepsy and tonic-clonic seizures. This methodology allowed students to understand concepts of green chemistry, ultrasound irradiation, continuous flow chemistry and drug synthesis.
