A microwave-assisted protocol was developed for the construction of di- and monosubstituted 2-aminoimidazoles. The two-step reaction involves the synthesis of N-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)acetamides from readily available alpha-haloketones and N-acetylguanidine, followed by deacetylation. Significant rate enhancement was observed for both steps of the
