Abstract

Aldehydes were converted to the corresponding 2-imidazolines and 2-oxazolines in good yields by the reaction with ethylenediamine and aminoethanol, respectively, using molecular iodine and potassium carbonate. Moreover, primary alcohols were directly converted to the corresponding 2-imidazolines and 2-oxazolines via aldehydes in one-pot manner with ethylenediamine and aminoethanol, respectively, using molecular iodine and potassium ...
