Coenzyme-inspired chemistry 1: The C-2 alkylation of 4,5-dihydroimidazoles

Alkylation of 4,5-dihydroimidazoles at C-2 is accomplished using a double umpolung of the reactivity of that position, via sulfenylation of a nucleophilic C-2 lithio-species and substitution using an alkyl nucleophile. Arylation via unexpected sulfide con

2-Methyl-4,5-dihydroimidazole as a Doubly Nucleophilic Unit: Preparation of Dihydroimidazole Azaprostanoids

2-Methyl-4,5-dihydroimidazole is incorporated as a doubly nucleophilic synthon, by successive alkylations at N-1 and C-2(Me), into monocyclic 9,12- and 8,11-diazaprostanoids containing the dihydroimidazole moiety. 2-Methyl-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydrobenzimidazole is prepared (from 1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride) and elaborated in the same way into a diazaprostacyclin precursor.
