One-Pot Three Components Synthesis of 2,4,5-Triaryl-Imidazoles Catalyzed by Caro's Acid-Silica Gel Under Solvent–Free Condition

Abstract

We introduced a very simple, one-pot three component procedure for preparation of 2,4,5-triaryl-imidazoles from the reaction of benzyl, aldehydes and ammonium acetate, as ammonia source, catalyzed by Caro's acid-silica gel under Solvent –free condition.
