Usually decarboxylation is accomplished by heating the acids above their melting points, often in the presence of a copper-chromium catalyst. Imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid can be monodecarboxylated by heating its monoanilide imidazole- and benzimidazole-2-carboxylic acids decarboxylate very readily indeed, so readily that the carboxyl function makes a useful blocking group in metallation procedures (see Scheme 7.2.1) [3-5]. A potentially useful method of preparation of imidazole-4-carboxylic acid derivatives heats the 4,5-dicarboxylic acid (2) with acetic anhydride to form (1), which is essentially an azolide and very prone to nucleophilic attack which cleaves the nitrogen-carbonyl bond (Scheme 8.3.1). With methanol the methyl ester (3) is formed with hydrazines the 4-hydrazides (4) result [6]. 

Specific preparation of each of the above isomers should theoretically be possible by methylation of imidazole-4-carboxylic acid in neutral and basic media. Methylation yields, however, are unlikely to be high, and the separation...

Treatment of 2-trifluoromethylimidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid, prepared by the oxidation of 2-trifluoromethylbenzimidazole, with SF4-HF also afforded 2,4,5-tris(tri-fluoromethyl)imidazole in moderate yield.

Alkyl radicals produced by oxidative decarboxylation of carboxylic acids are nucleophilic and attack protonated azoles at the most electron-deficient sites. Thus imidazole and 1-alkylimidazoles are alkylated exclusively at the 2-position (80AHC(27)241). Similarly, thiazoles are attacked in acidic media by methyl and propyl radicals to give 2-substituted derivatives in moderate yields, with smaller amounts of 5-substitution. These reactions have been reviewed (74AHC(i6)123) the mechanism involves an intermediate cr-complex. 

The l-acyl-3-methylimidazole-2-thiones are easily obtained either from bis-l-methyl-2-imidazole disulfide, a carboxylic acid, and triphenylphosphine, or from 2-mercapto-l-methylimidazole and a carboxylic acid chloride in the presence of triethylamine.[32 ... 

Flash vacuum pyrolysis of methyl imidazol-2-yl carboxylate 290 at 750°C gave 20% yield of 268 via the corresponding ketene 291. Similar pyrolysis of methyl imidazol-l-yl carboxylate 292 gave 20% of a 1 1 2 mixture of compounds 267,268, and 296. This fact can be rationalized by the pathway depicted in Scheme 71. Ketenes 291 and 295 may be intermediates formed from 293 and 294, respectively. They are products of rearrangement of 292. Similar pyrolysis of 4-imidazole carboxylic acid anilide performed at 800°C gave 267 in 20% yield (86JOC306). 

Considerable work has been devoted to the search for agents devoid of the sedative effect that accompanied some of the earlier antihistamines. One stratagem for achieving that comprises adding a function that will diminish the likelihood that the dmg will cross the blood-brain barrier. The antistamine emedastine (41-3), for example, incorporates a terminal ether that can be potentially metabolized to a carboxylic acid. Alkylation of the imidazole (41-1), available from imidazol-2-one by reaction with phosphoms oxychloride, with the chloroether (41-2) leads to a reaction on nitrogen to afford (41-3). Displacement of the enol chloride in that intermediate with A-methyl-l-4-diazepine (41-4) leads to emedastine (41- 5) [43]. 

A benzisoxazole moiety provides the nucleus of an anticonvulsant agent whose structure differs markedly from the traditional agents in this class. The synthesis starts with a compound (61-1) that incorporates a preformed benzisoxazole. Bromination proceeds on the position adjacent to the carboxylic acid (61-2). This intermediate loses carbon dioxide on heating, leaving behind the bromomethyl derivative (61-3). Displacement of the halogen with the ion from the reaction of imidazole with sodium hydride yields the alkylation product (61-4). The short side chain is then methylated by successive treatment with a base and methyl idodide to afford zoniclezole (61-5) [64]. 

Coupling of 69 with methyl 4-hydroxyphenoxyacetate 70 was carried out in the presence of imidazole and confirmed by gel-phase 13C NMR of PSDES resin 71. The hydrolysis of resin-bound ester was efficiently achieved using trimethyltin hydroxide (TMTOH) [110-114] to give the corresponding immobilized carboxylic acid 72. For the key Staudinger reaction, activation of the carboxylic acid 72 by Mukaiyama s reagent 74 was employed (Scheme 20) [115-117]. The m-p-lactam 16 was obtained in a 12-14% isolated yield. 

In an initial step, 2-chloroacetic acid ethyl ester is reacted with formamide to give 5-methylimidazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester. Then sodium in ammonia is used to convert that to 4-hydroxymethyl-5-methylimidazole-hydrochloride. Cysteamine HCI (HSCH2CH2NH2-HCI) is then reacted to give 4-(2-aminomethyl)-thiomethyl-5-methyl-imidazole dihydrochloride. Then N-cyanamido-5,5-dimethyl-dithio-carbonate (from cyanamid, KOH, CS2 and ((CH3)2S04) is reacted to give a further intermediate which is finally reacted with methylamine to give cimetidine. 

IM-COOH-OH cooperation. Polymers such as poly(4(5)-vinylimidazole-co-7-vinyl-7-butyrolactone), poly(IM-la), and poly(4(5)-vinylimidazole-co-acrylic acid-covinyl alcohol) derived from poly(4(5)-vinylimidazole-co-methyl acrylate-co-vinyl acetate), both of which contain imidazole, carboxylic acid and hydroxyl moieties are synthesized and studied as a model of a-chymotrypsin (29). The former has a relatively ordered sequence and the latter has a random one. Results are tabulated in Table 11. The polymers cited in the Tabel contain a similarly low quantity of imidazole moiety, so that the cooperation of two subsequent imidazole moieties need not be discussed. Polymers such as L-84, L-68, M-83 and A-84 have higher catalytic activities than the polymer V-82. This suggests that the catalytic activity of the imidazole moiety in the polymers is much promoted by the carboxylate moiety in the polymers. The catalytic activities of L-84 and L-68 which have an ordered sequence are more than twice as high as that of M-83, having a random sequence. From these results it is concluded that the introduction of the hydroxyl moiety which has little cooperative effect on the imidazole moiety in V-82 in this reaction conrfition into imidazole and carboxylate — containing polymer, increases...
