Coenzyme-inspired chemistry 1: The C-2 alkylation of 4,5-dihydroimidazoles

Alkylation of 4,5-dihydroimidazoles at C-2 is accomplished using a double umpolung of the reactivity of that position, via sulfenylation of a nucleophilic C-2 lithio-species and substitution using an alkyl nucleophile. Arylation via unexpected sulfide con

Tetrahydrofolate coenzyme models: Imidazolines as nucleophilic C1-transfer reagents

1-Benzyl-2-imidazoline is deprotonated at C-2 and alkylated by a sulphenylation-substitution sequence (to complete a formal C1-transfer), whereas arylation occurs by an unusual sulphenylation-sulphide contraction pathway.
