A regioselective base-mediated cyclization of mono-N-acylpropargylguanidines is reported. A related Ag(I)-catalyzed hydroamination strategy was recently employed to yield N<sup>3</sup>-Cbz-protected ene-guanidines, which found utility in the synthesis of naamidine A. Herein, we report the base-catalyzed hydroamination of mono-N-acylpropargylguanidines, which proceeds with the opposite regiochemistry to deliver isomerized N<sup>2</sup>-acyl-2-aminoimidazoles with broad substrate scope, circumvent ...[more]
