The reaction of (Z)-N-(2-amino-1,2-dicyanovinyl)formamidoxime 3a with aromatic aldehydes led to the isolation of amidoximes 4 in good yield. The structure of these compounds was confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis. Amidoximes 4 cyclized in the presence of DDQ leading to 1-(N-benzyloxyformimidoyl)-2-aryl-4,5-dicyanoimidazoles 5 in good yields. The structure of these compounds was also confirmed by X-ray crystallography. When the reaction of the formamidoximes 3a and 3b with aromatic aldehydes was carried out in the presence of DBU, a different pathway was followed leading to a γ-lactam structure 8.
