Abstract

Imidazolines were prepared in one-pot operation from aldehydes and diamines through oxidation of aminal intermediates by NBS. This method could be applied to various aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes and N-nonsubstituted and N-monosubstituted 1, 2-diamines. Furthermore, it was found that CH2Cl2 could be altered to TBME, a more environmentally friendly solvent, in the reaction using N-nonsubstituted 1, 2-diamines. The reaction ...
