Abstract

The synthesis of imidazolines has gained significant attention due to their wide range of applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science. Recent advancements in the use of transition metal catalysts have revolutionized the methodologies for synthesizing these heterocyclic compounds. This review highlights the latest developments in transition metal-catalyzed reactions, focusing on their efficiency, selectivity, and sustainability. Key breakthroughs include the utilization of palladium, nickel, and copper catalysts, which have demonstrated remarkable activity in various coupling and cyclization reactions. Additionally, the incorporation of green chemistry principles has led to more environmentally friendly processes. The mechanistic insights and practical applications discussed herein provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state and future prospects of transition metal-catalyzed imidazoline synthesis. This review highlights the literature from 2010 to 2024, focusing on various protocols involving transition metal catalysts for the synthesis of diverse imidazoline heterocyclic compounds.
