Functionalized imidazoliniums from the three-component domino reaction of N-formylmethylcarboxamides with amines and isocyanides†
Abstract
In the presence of Zn(OTf)2, the three-component domino reaction of N-formylmethyl-substituted tertiary amides and enamides with amines and isocyanides in acetonitrile at room temperature produced functionalized imidazoliniums in good to excellent yields.
