The Reaction of 2-Amino-N'-arylbenzamidines with Tetracyanoethene Reinvestigated: Routes to Imidazoles, Quinazolines and Quinolino[2',3':4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]quinazoline-8-carbonitrile. -The reaction of 2-amino-N-arylbenzamidines with tetracyanoethene is investigated under different reaction conditions to provide either imidazoline of type (III), quinazolines (IV) or (V) as sole or main products. An independent synthesis of imidazoline (IIIa) is also developed and the conversion to the polycyclic heterocycle (XII) is shown. -(MIRALLAI, S. I.; MANOLI, M.; KOUTENTIS*, P.
