N. Kuhn et al., SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF 2-IMINO-1,3-DI METHYLIMIDAZOLINE, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 50(12), 1995, pp. 1779-1784
Deprotonation of the 2-amino-1,3-dimethylimidazolium salt 5 (obtained
through methylation of 2-amino-1-methylimidazole (4)) by KH gives 2-im
ino-1,3-dimethylimidazoline 6. The trimethylsilylimino compound 14 is
formed on the reaction of 6 with chlorotrimethylsilane in the ratio 2:
1. Further reaction with chlorotrimethylsilane gives the silylated ami
noimidazolium salt 15. The X-ray structures of 5 and 6 are reported.
