Metal/catalyst-free sequential C–N bond forming cascades at room temperature: environment-friendly one-pot synthesis of 5-aminoimidazoles from aryl glyoxals, anilines, and amidines

Abstract

An expeditious one-pot method for the synthesis of highly substituted 5-aminoimidazoles from glyoxals, anilines, and amidines was evaluated under metal/catalyst-free conditions operative at room temperature. The present protocol constitutes an...
