Oxidative decarboxylative synthesis of 2-H-imidazolines from glyoxylic acid and 1,2-diamines

Kenichi Murai, Maiko Morishita, Ryo Nakatani, Hiromichi Fujioka and Yasuyuki Kita

A novel method to prepare 2-H-imidazolines from glyoxylic acid monohydrate and 1,2-diamines is described; the key reaction of this method is the oxidative decarboxylation of the 2-carboxy imidazolidines by NBS.
