A series of new tetrasubstituted imidazoles 2-phenyl-3-(1, 4, 5-triphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-1H-indole derivatives substituted with –F, Cl, Br, I,-OCH3 and -NHCOCH3 were synthesized using a multicomponent reaction. The compounds were obtained in good yields by easy workup and with high purity

Substituted imidazoles are of interest because their useful biological activities. While several methods have been developed for the synthesis such compounds, some reported utilize corrosive or toxic catalysts. We report a bismuth (III) triflate catalyzed multicomponent 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles. Bismuth compounds attractive from green chemistry perspective they remarkably non-toxic and n...

a general synthetic route to the synthesis of imidazoles has been developed using nano sbcl5/sio2 under solvent-free conditions. the multi-component reactions of aldehydes, benzil and ammonium acetate were carried out to afford some trisubstituted imidazole derivatives. this method provides several advantages like simple work-up, environmentally benign, and shorter reaction times along with hig...

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...

Disubstituted imidazoles were prepared by reacting appropriate phenylglyoxal with different aryl aldehydes in the presence of ammonium acetate. Trisubstituted imidazoles were prepared by reacting disubstituted imidazoles with chlorobenzene in the presence of catalytic amount of triethylamine (TEA). The synthesized compounds were characterized on the basis of IR, 1H-NMR and mass spectral data an...
