A versatile and efficient method for the synthesis of 2-aryl substituted imidazolines and imidazoles bearing a carboxylate group on C-4 is reported. Three different synthetic pathways were explored, compared and optimized. The selected procedure involves condensation of methyl 2,3-diaminopropionate with different imino ethers. The ring closure, monitored by LC-MS analysis, was facilitated by heating at reflux in ethanol leading to increase the rate of cyclization.
