title: Alkaline earth catalysis for the 100% atom-efficient three component assembly of imidazolidin-2-ones.
abstract: A variety of functionalised imidazolidin-2-ones may be synthesised under very mild reaction conditions using non-toxic and cost-effective alkaline earth bis(amide) pre-catalysts in a 100% atom-efficient, intermolecular one-pot assembly from inexpensive alkyne and cumulene reagents.
