Scheme 4. A plausible mechanism for the formation of amidines 4 from amines, ketones and azide
Elimination of dinitrogen from triazoline 6c finalizes the process
resulting in amidine 4a. We detected the presence of
cyclohexanone and morpholine by H NMR spectroscopy when

we treated enamine 7 in a solution of CD

detected in a solution of 2a and 3a in CD OD at 50 °C. Both
experiments confirmed the equilibrium between 2/3 and enamine

synthesis of novel N-imidazol-5-yl amidines based on a catalyst
and additive-free 3CR of 5-azido-4-nitroimidazole with cyclic
ketones and cycloaliphatic amines. This method is also
applicable for the synthesis of N-sulfonyl amidines. Reaction of
2
,6-diazidopyridine with 4-(cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)morpholine was
shown to be accomplished with cyclization of the azide moiety
pyridine C=N bond to form an amidine bearing the tetrazolo[1,5-
a]pyridine fragment.
