Two new imidazole salts, namely, [HIMT]+ X (X = NO3–) (1), ClO4– (2) [IMT = 4-((1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)benzonitrile], were grown through reacting IMT and two different inorganic acids by slow evaporation method, respectively. Salts 1 and 2 have been characterized by single–crystal X–ray dif...

Two rigid 1H-imidazol-4-yl containing ligands of 1, 3-di(1H-imidazol-4-yl)benzene (L1) and 1, 4-di(1H-imidazol-4-yl)benzene (L2) were used to react with Ni(II) and Cd(II) salts together with 1,3,5-tri(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene (H3BTB) under hydro- and solvo-thermal conditions, and four new complex...

In this work, two new metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) based on 1,3-di(1H-imidazol-4-yl)benzene (L) and 1,4-phenylenediacetic acid (H2pda), namely [Ni(L)(pda)(H2O)] (1) and [Cd(L)(pda)] (2), have been achieved. MOFs 1 and 2 have distinct infinite one-dimensional (1D) chain structures, which are ...

A series of 4-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-furazan-3-amines (BIFAs) were prepared in good yields (60–90% for each reaction step) via a novel procedure from aminofurazanyl hydroximoyl chlorides and o-diaminobenzenes. The synthetic sequence was run under mild reaction conditions, it was robust and ...

The synthesis and structural properties of novel compounds, 5-Benzyl- 4-[3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propyl]-2H-1,2,4-triazol-3(4H)-ones (3a–c) have been described. These products were obtained by the reaction of ethyl 2-[1-ethoxy-2-(phenyl or substituted phenyl)ethylidene]hydrazinecarboxylates (1) and...

Enantiomerically pure S-5-hydroxy-2-piperidinone 4, readily available from S-glutamic acid, serves as a key intermediate for the synthesis of 3,4-trans substituted piperidine derivatives.
