Abstract
Reactions of the 1,2-diaryl 4,5-dihydroimidazolium, represented by 3-methyl-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydroimidazolium iodide 1, with ethylenediamine afforded a benzylidyne unit transferred product, 2-phenyl-2-imidazoline 2; a ring-opened adduct 4 was produced when excess ethylenediamine was used. Reactions of 1 with hydroxylamine, malononitrile, and nitromethane anions produced ring-opened products, 5, 7, and 8 respectively.
This study demonstrates that 3-methyl-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydroimidazolium iodide can be converted into benzylidyyne units by nucleophilic addition to ethylenediamine, malononitrile
