Abstract

Novel C-2 substituted 4, 5-dihydroimidazoles and imidazoles bearing an N-linked stereogenic group were rapidly prepared from a chiral primary amine. Quaternization of these derivatives resulted in a range of scalemic room temperature ionic liquids. The ability of the imidazolium species to act as reaction medium and/or phase transfer catalyst was also assessed.
