The Bifunctionalityof Tetramethylguanidine Enablesthe Synthesis of Poly Substituted Imidazolinones from Ketones

Abstract A novel strategy for the efficient construction of polysubstituted imidazolinones from simple ketones was developed based on the bifunctional role of tetramethylguanidine (TMG). In this reaction, TMG served simultaneously as an organic base and a structural unit precurso...
