This invention relates to a range of alpha substituted 2-benzyl substituted imidazole compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof, to compositions comprising such compounds, processes for their synthesis and their use as parasiticides.
acetolysis rates of 2-arylethyl tosylates were determined for a series of aryl substituents. The non-linear substituent effect was reasonably accounted for on the basis of two linear LArSR relationships; one for the aryl-assisted (FkΔ) and one for the unassisted (ks) processes, respectively. A precise dissection of the apparent substituent effect into individual effects for both processes was achieved
