Various ethyl 4-alkyl(aryl)thioimidazole-5-carboxylates have been synthesized by the reaction of ethyl valeramidocyanoacetate with a variety of alkyl(aryl) thiols in the presence of triethylamine and subsequent phosphorus pentachloride/4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) mediated cyclization of the acyclic intermediates.
