A facile preparation of backbone-substituted, functionalized and chiral imidazolinium salts.
A versatile and modular method for the preparation of various backbone-substituted, functionalized and chiral imidazolinium salts from the reaction of formamidines with alkene oxides has been described, providing a more straightforward access to substituted imidazolinium salts than the previously reported methods.
