A simple and facile approach to highly functionalized imidazole derivatives in moderate to good yields has
been developed. This method involves copper catalyzed aerobic [3+2] cycloaddition of amidines with nitroolefins in
absence of ligand. Based on observation of the intermediates, possible reaction mechanism different from the same
reported approach was proposed.
A simple route for the synthesis of imidazole derivatives via copper-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction is described. This strategy has achieved high regioselectivity and used oxygen as an oxidant without the addition of expensive catalysts to provide moderate to good yields.
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.

Iron(III)-Catalyzed Synthesis of 1,2,4-Trisubstituted Imidazoles through the Reactions of Amidines and Aldehydes in Air
AbstractA novel and efficient iron(III)‐catalyzed synthesis of 1,2,4‐trisubstituted imidazoles through the reactions of amidines and aldehydes in air has been developed. Five hydrogen dissociations involving CH and NH bond activation are realized under mild conditions in this approach. The procedure is sustainable, simple and environmentally friendly.magnified image
