Abstract

The development of simple, efficient and environmentally benign chemical processes or methodologies for widely used organic compounds from readily available reagents is one of the major challenges for chemists in organic synthesis. The importance of imidazoline and benzimidazole units arises, because they are found in many biologically active compounds. 1 In organic synthesis, imidazoline units are also used as synthetic intermediates, 2 chiral auxiliaries, ...
