Inspired by the pharmacological interest generated by 6-substituted purine roscovitine for cancer treatment, 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamidine precursors containing a cyanamide unit were prepared by condensation of 5-amino-N-cyanoimidazole-4-carbimidoyl cyanides with a wide range of primary amines. When these amidine precursors were combined with acids, a fast cascade cyclization occurred at room temperature, af...

Method: Recently, an in vitro workflow, ...
Cymbopogon citratus DC (Stapf.) is a perennial grass and it is distributed around the world.
