5-(Hydroxymethyl)-3-(t-butyloxycarbonyl)imidazoline 2 was prepared in four steps from 2,3-diaminopropionic acid in 72% overall yield. Mitsunobu reaction with a series of phenol derivatives gave the corresponding 5-(aryloxymethyl)-3-(t-butyloxycarbonyl)imidazolines 8a-1. Phthalimide and N-benzyl trifluoroacetamide also reacted.
