Abstract
We have developed a non‐catalytic method for the ortho‐hydroxybenzylation of NH‐azoles that differ significantly in nucleophilicity and basicity (imidazoles, benzimidazoles, pyrazoles and others) with ortho‐quinone methide precursors (salicylic alcohols and phenolic Mannich bases) in the absence of solvent. The synthesis uses available reagents and is characterized by high product yields, rapidity of the process, simplicity of isolation and purification, and high atom economy.
期刊介绍:
Organic chemistry is the fundamental science that stands at the heart of chemistry, biology, and materials science. Research in these areas is vigorous and truly international, with three major regions making almost equal contributions: America, Europe and Asia. Asia now has its own top international organic chemistry journal—the Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry (AsianJOC)
The AsianJOC is designed to be a top-ranked international research journal and publishes primary research as well as critical secondary information from authors across the world. The journal covers organic chemistry in its entirety. Authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories.
