Multiheteroatom-containing small-sized cyclic molecules such as 2-iminothiazolidines are often found to possess
beneficial pharmacological properties. In this review article, the biological significance of 2-iminothiazolidines is discussed
and the literature reports published in the last 15 years spanning from 2006 to 2020 describing various preparative routes to
access 2-iminothiazolidine derivatives have been categorically and chronologically described. The notable synthetic methods discussed here involve ring-expansion transformations of nonactivated and activated aziridines, thiiranes, epoxides, and
other miscellaneous reactions.
