Hypervalent Iodine in Synthesis 81: A One-Pot Procedure for the Synthesis of 1H-Imidazole Derivatives by Cyclocondensation of Ketones with [Hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]benzene and Amidines

Abstract

-Tosyloxylation of ketones with [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]benzene (HTIB), followed by treatment with amidines provides a one-pot procedure for the synthesis of 1H-imidazole derivatives with good yields.

Key words

-tosyloxylation - [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]benzene (HTIB) - amidines - 1H-Imidazole
