title: Modified guanidines as potential chiral superbases. 3. Preparation Of 1,4,6-triazabicyclooctene systems and 1,4-disubstituted 2-iminoimidazolidines by the 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride-induced cyclization of guanidines with a hydroxyethyl substituent
abstract: Simple preparation methods of modified guanidines have been explored as potential chiral superbases. Thus, 3,7,8-trisubstituted and 3,6,7, 8-tetrasubstituted 1,4,6-triazabicyclooctene systems were prepared from (1S,2S)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine through stepwise 2-chloro-1, 3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC)-induced cyclizations of protected thioureas to the corresponding 2-iminoimidazolidines and then of 2-(2-hydroxyethylimino)imidazolidines to the bicyclic systems. Linear guanidines with a 2-hydroxyethyl functional group were prepared by the reaction of carbodiimides with 2-amino alcohols. Reaction of linear-type guanidines with DMC followed by base treatment afforded 1,4-disubstitued 2-iminoimidazolidines. Furthermore, another type of 1,4,6-triazabicyclooctene was also prepared through double DMC-induced cyclization of guanidines with two 2-hydroxyethyl substituents.
