Oxidative decarboxylative synthesis of 2-H-imidazolines from glyoxylic acid and 1,2-diamines

Chem Commun (Camb). 2008 Oct 7:(37):4498-500. doi: 10.1039/b807810f. Epub 2008 Aug 4.

Abstract

A novel method to prepare 2-H-imidazolines from glyoxylic acid monohydrate and 1,2-diamines is described; the key reaction of this method is the oxidative decarboxylation of the 2-carboxy imidazolidines by NBS.
