25. -1). This is not exceptional as it has been demonstrated that such signal intensity decreases markedly, even failing to appear in certain cases, when there is low electron density in the carbon to which the group is bonded [25].

29. In the hydrolysis of 5b that leads to N-benzoyl-N-methyl-N'-pheoylethylenediamine (6b) as the final product, two compounds of low Rf were detected, presumably the N-benzoyl-N'-methyl-N-phenyletheyl- enediamine and the intermediate carbinolamine A (Nu=OH) detected in the hydrolysis of 1b [17].
30. The behavior of compounds 5 with these reagents is similar to that of α-aminonitriles derived from ternary iminium salts [30] that lead mainly to substitution products, as there are no reduction products of the cyano group following treatment with lithium aluminum hydride. Neither are there any addition or other alternative reacting modes when treated with Grignard reagents.

32. Data concerning these triamino derivatives indicate that as a rule they are unstable [11], unless substituted by three electron-acceptor groups [32,33]. On the other hand, recalling the reported behavior in acid medium of orthoamides obtained from formamidinium salts [34-36], it would be expected that such treatment should regenerate the dihydroimidazolium salt However, the obtained product remains unchanged after treatment with hydrochloric acid solution.
