title: Azomethine ylide mediated inversion of configuration of quaternary imidazoline carbon: converting trans- to its cis- imidazolines.
abstract: An efficient synthetic methodology of converting trans-4,5-diaryl-2-imidazolines to the corresponding cis-4,5-diaryl-2-imidazolines has been developed. This methodology features mild reaction conditions and a simple one-pot two-step procedure.
