Trichloroisocyanuric acid as an efficient homogeneous catalyst for the chemoselective synthesis of 2-substituted oxazolines, imidazolines and thiazolines under solvent-free condition

Abstract

Trichloroisocyanuric acid as a commercially available and inexpensive catalyst has been used in a new, facile and efficient procedure for the synthesis of 2-oxazolines, 2-imidazolines and 2-thiazolines through the reaction of nitriles with 2-aminoethanol, ethylenediamine or 2-aminoethanthiol under solvent -free conditions.
