Abstract

A BF3·OEt2-promoted facile synthesis of cyclic amidines (2-amino-1-pyrrolines) has been developed via the (3+2)-cycloaddition of cyanamides with donor-acceptor cyclopropanes (DACs). In addition to this, the protocol has been successfully extended to construct a dimerized amidine derivative and gram-scale synthesis with great efficiency.
