Abstract

We present the first results of the intramolecular cyclization of propargyl ureas catalyzed by TBAF. Depending on the substituents close to the triple bond, imidazolone or methylene-imidazolidinone was obtained. The dual activation of the triple bond by interaction with TBAF via the cation-π is thought to be responsible.
