Abstract

A new reduction ring-opening reaction of 2-imidazoline with sodium borohydride is reported, and the effect of reaction condition on the yield, reaction mechanism and the use of the new reaction in synthesis of ethylenediamine derivatives are discussed. A new method for the preparation of unsymmetrical substituted ethylenediamine via the reduction ring-opening reaction of imidazoline is provided.
