Abstract
The synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles with a Weinreb amide, ester, keto or aldehyde group, as well as 2,5-diaryl substituted imidazoles by the reaction of amidines with azirines has been reported. The reaction mechanism explaining dependence of imidazole structure on substituent at the position 2 of the azirine is discussed based on experiment with 15N-labelled azirine and DFT calculations.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
