A series of 2-alkylthio-4,5-diarylimidazoles were synthesized in three steps. The reaction of ammonium thiocyanate with benzoylbenzoins 4 gave 4,5-diarylimidazole-2-thiones 5. Alkylation of compound 5 with alkyl iodide yielded 2-alkylthio-4,5-diarylimidazoles 6. Chlorosulfonation of compound 6 followed by ammonia gave the desired compounds 4-[2-alkylthio-4(5)-(4-substituted phenyl)imidazole-5(4)-yl]benzensulfonamides 7.

A series of 4,5-diaryl-2-(substituted thio)-1H-imidazoles was synthesized and evaluated as antiinflammatory and analgesic agents in the rat adjuvant induced arthritis assay and the mouse phenyl-p-benzoquinone writhing (PQW) assay. Several analogues were found to be more potent than phenylbutazone and indomethacin. Structure-activity relationships are discussed. One of the compounds, 4,5-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-2-[(1
