title: Multicomponent reactions for the synthesis of functionalized imidazoles.
abstract: An efficient synthesis of functionalized tetrahydroimidazoles via a one-pot tandem reaction between ninhydrin, primary alkylamines, arylisocyanates or arylisothiocyanates, acetylenic esters and triphenylphosphine is described.
