A study is presented on the scope of the method to obtain 1H-4,5-dihydroimidazolium salts 3 by dehydrogenation of 1,3-di and 1,2,3-trisubstituted imidazolidines 2. Of the dehydrogenating agents used, N-bromoacetamide leads to the best results, providing a

Reactions of several substituted 1H-4,5-dihydroimidazolium salts 1 with nucleophilic and electrophilic reducing agents acting via hydride transfer were explored.Reaction of compounds 1 with lithium aluminum hydride in THF afforded the corresponding imidazolidines 2.When alkaline borohydrides (sodium borohydride, potassium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride) in ethanol at room temperature were used, partial or total over-reduction of compounds 2 leading to N,N,N'-trisubstituted ethylenediamines took place on occasion.Results may be explained taking into account that reductive cleavage of 2 proceeds via a stabilized iminium ion present in protic solvents.Treatment of compounds 1 with an excess of borane in THF afforded the corresponding imidazolidines 2 or their borane complexes, according to the substituent type.
