—— | 2-benzyl-1-(7-ethoxycarbonylheptyl)-4,5-diphenylimidazole | 142217-28-5 | C32H36N2O2 | 480.65 |
An efficient and green procedure for the synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles with various aldehydes using a catalytic amount of 1-methylimidazolium hydrogenesulfate as an active and low cost Brönsted acidic room temperature ionic liquid has been developed. The ionic liquid was easily separated from the reaction mixture and was recycled five times without any loss in activity.Key words: ionic liquid, 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles, [Hmim]HSO4, aldehyde, benzil.
Operationally simple, atom economical, and scalable synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles from benzil, aldehydes, and ammonium acetate is shown to proceed readily in methanol with high yield. The scope of the reaction is quite broad; a variety of aromatic and aliphatic activated and unactivated aldehydes have all been shown to be viable substrates for this reaction. Excellent yields and purity were obtained by washing the products with hot ethanol.
