A novel and efficient iron(III)-catalyzedsynthesis of multi-substituted imidazoles via [3+2] cycloaddition of nitroolefins and N-aryl benzamidines under the air atmosphere had been developed. This methodology is convenient, atom-economical, general, and eco-friendly in good yields and prefect regioselectivities.
We have successfully developed the I2-catalysed synthesis of substituted imidazole derivatives from amidines and ketones in good to excellent yields and 100% regioselectivity.
An efficient and facile approach to synthesize imidazoles from amidines and arylketone via oxidative coupling of sp(3) C-H bond and N-H bond is reported. This strategy exhibits high performance in terms of regioselectivity with moderate to high yields by using easily available materials, and provides an alternative method to synthesize multi-substituted imidazole skeletons.

Acid-catalyzed synthesis of imidazole derivatives via N-phenylbenzimidamides and sulfoxonium ylides cyclization
A straightforward method to synthesize imidazole derivatives from amidines and sulfoxonium ylides catalyzed by acids is reported in this study. Specifically, catalyzed by trifluoroacetic acid in DCE solvents can improve synthesis efficiency under metal-free conditions. A series of imidazole scaffolds were produced in good to excellent yields.
