Synthesis of Imidazoles from Alkenes
Casey, Michael,Moody, Christopher J.,Rees, Charles W.
, p. 1933 - 1941 (2007/10/02)
Alkenes are converted into imidazoles through their epoxides by a sequence involving ring-opening with readily available 2-tributylstannyltetrazoles (8), dehydration of the resulting alcohols (9) using methyltriphenoxyphosphonium iodide in a improved procedure to give 1-alkenyltetrazoles (12), which give imidazoles (17) on photolysis.
A New Synthesis of Imidazoles
Casey, Michael,Moody, Christopher J.,Rees, Charles W.
, p. 714 - 715 (2007/10/02)
Alkenes are converted into imidazoles through their epoxides by treatment with 2-tri-n-butylstannyltetrazoles (2), followed by dehydration with methyltriphenoxyphosphonium iodide in an improved procedure, and photolysis of the resulting vinyltetrazoles (4).
