strong nucleophilicity and photochemical activity, can promote the coupling reaction between alcohols and carboxylic acid anhydrides or chlorides to give products under thermal or blue light photochemical conditions. Kinetic studies and density functional theory calculations suggest interesting mechanistic insights for reactions promoted by this acyl-transfer catalytic system.
The invention relates to N-substituted imidazoles of the formula, ##STR1## processes for their production as well as their use in pharmaceutical agents. The compounds according to the invention have aromatase-inhibiting properties and are suitable for therapy of estrogen-caused diseases.
