Abstract

Abstract One-pot three-component synthesis of novel macrocyclic imidazolidines has been accomplished in good yields via a facile [3+ 2] cycloaddition reaction of azomethine ylide, derived from paraformaldehyde and sarcosine, with various macrocyclic imines as dipolarophiles. The effect of solvent on the [3+ 2]-dipolar cycloaddition reaction is also studied.
