From readily available propargylic amines, 1,2,5-trisubstituted imidazoles are efficiently obtained through a cascade reaction catalyzed by AgOTf or promoted by molecular iodine. The AgOTf-catalyzed reaction involves nucleophilic addition of propargylic amine to ketenimine, a silver-catalyzedelectrophiliccyclizationreaction of alkyne, and a tautomerism/isomerism/metal-H exchange cascade. The iodine-mediated
