Silica sulfuric acid as an efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst has been used for the preparation of amidines 2 from formimidate 1 through reaction with aromatic amines at room temperature and in good to excellent yields. All these derivatives were fully characterized by spectroscopic data. IS - 1 PB - OICC Press KW - Heterogeneous catalyst, Silica sulfuric acid, Imidate, Amidine, Aiaminomaleonitrile.
