An imidazole moiety is often found as an integral part of fluorophores in a variety of fluorescent proteins and many such proteins display pH-dependent light emission. In contrast, synthetic fluorescent compounds with incorporated imidazoles are rare and have not been studied as pH probes. In this report, the richness of imidazole optical properties, including pH sensitivity, was demonstrated b...

A series of 1-substituted 2, 4, 5 triphenyl imidazoles were synthesized by the reaction equimolar mixture of 2, 4, 5 triphenyl imidazole with chloro compound in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized on the basis of UV, IR and H NMR spectra. The synthesized compounds were screened for antiinflammatory, antimicrobial activities. Antiinfl...

Oxidation of substituted imidazoles with modified Fenton's reagent (Fe(II), ascorbic acid, EDTA and H2O2) in aqueous solution at pH 5 -7 in the presence of inorganic orthophosphate gives high yields of an unknown bound phosphate, in the case of 2-methylimidazole up to 3 5 % based on inorganic phosphate. The dependence of the yields on reaction parameters and the hydrolytic behaviour of the comp...

A short and efficient synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted imidazoles has been developed which provides the desired products with complete regioselectivity. This protocol allows preparation of compounds which are challenging to prepare by current literature methods in a regioselective fashion, a sterically and electronically diverse range of N-substituents being accessible. The sequence involves an u...

The microwave assisted and solvent free synthesis of title compounds is described in this protocol. Ten new aryl imidazoles, which are incorporated with the chemotherapeutic pharmacophores, have been synthesized by adopting one pot multicomponent reaction. First, primary aromatic or heteryl amine has been condensed with aryl or heteryl aldehydes to afford corresponding Schiff base. The Schiff b...

Imidazole is a planar, five membered heteroaromatic molecule with pyrrole type and pyridine type annular nitrogens. Several approaches are available of imidazoles from alpha halo ketones, aminonitrile, aldehyde ect. Reactivity of imidazole and benzimidazole is referred from sets of  resonance structure in which the dipolar contributors have finite importance. Imidazoles among the principal grou...
