“…The development of synthetic pathways toward cyclic amidine derivatives is a research area of growing interest. Cyclic amidine derivatives have been shown to have interesting biological activities [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]; however, methods for their synthesis have several limitations [ 9 , 10 , 11 ]. Thus, several research groups have been developing synthetic methodologies for these derivatives [ 12 , 13 ].…”
