One-pot syntheses are a simple, efficient and easy methodology, which are widely used for the synthesis of organic compounds. Imidazoline is a valuable heterocyclic moiety used as a synthetic intermediate, chiral auxiliary, chiral catalyst and a ligand for asymmetric catalysis. Imidazole is a fundamental unit of biomolecules that can be easily prepared from imidazolines. The one-pot method is an impressive approach to synthesize organic compounds as it minimizes the reaction time, separation procedures, and ecological impact. Many significant one-pot methods such as N-bromosuccinimide mediated reaction, ring-opening of tetrahydrofuran, triflic anhydrate mediated reaction, etc. were reported for imidazoline synthesis. This review describes an overview of the one-pot synthesis of imidazolines and covers literature up to 2020.

一锅法合成是一种简单，高效且简便的方法，已广泛用于有机化合物的合成。咪唑啉是有价值的杂环部分，用作合成中间体，手性助剂，手性催化剂和不对称催化的配体。咪唑是可以从咪唑啉轻松制备的生物分子的基本单元。一锅法是一种令人印象深刻的合成有机化合物的方法，因为它使反应时间，分离步骤和生态影响最小化。据报道，许多重要的一锅法，如N-溴琥珀酰亚胺介导的反应，四氢呋喃的开环，无水三氟甲磺酸介导的反应等，都用于咪唑啉的合成。这篇综述描述了咪唑啉的一锅法合成概述，并涵盖了2020年以前的文献。
