摘要: An efficient preparation of imidazolines from nitriles and aziridines in the presence of TfOH via Ritter reaction is described. It indicates that different kinds of nitriles can undergo the process. Among the nitriles, pivalonitrile is proven to be better than acetonitrile. The reaction is performed at room temperature and the yields are excellent.
