Synthesis of novel C-2 substituted imidazoline derivatives having the norbornene/dibenzobarrelene skeletons

Abstract

Novel imidazoline derivatives were synthesized from the norbornene and dibenzobarrelene skeletons which were obtained by the Diels-Alder reactions of anthracene and cyclopentadiene with the different dienophiles, such as fumaronitrile and fumaric acid. Synthesis of the C-2 substituted imidazolines was performed with high yields from various dinitriles and diacyl dichlorides.
