Rapid and efficient biomimetic oxidation of 2-imidazolines to their corresponding imidazoles with NaIO4 catalyzed by Mn(salophen)Cl

摘要

Rapid and efficient oxidation of 2-substituted imidazolines with sodium periodate is reported. The Mn(III)-salophen/NaIO4 catalytic system efficiently converted 2-imidazolines to their corresponding imidazoles at room temperature in 2: 1, CH3CN/H2O mixture.
