3- Substituted imidazole 1-oxide applications

The reactions of 2-lithio- and 2-sodio-imidazoles and -benzimidazoles are not particularly novel. The compounds do, however, prove a means of introducing a variety of functional groups into the 2-position of the heterocyclic ring. Such metalation reactions at C-2 can only occur readily when there is no alternative site for the metal. Therefore, only N-substituted imidazoles are of synthetic utility, and it may be necessary to select an N-substituent which can be removed later. For this reason, benzyl (removed by reductive or oxidative methods), benzenesulfonyl (removed by ammoniacal ethanol), trityl (hydrolyzed by mild acid treatment) and alkoxymethyl (easily hydrolyzed in acid or basic medium) groups have proved useful in this context. A typical reaction sequence is shown in Scheme 136 <78JOC438l, 77JHC517). In addition, reactions with aldehydes and ketones (to form alcohols), with ethyl formate (to form the alcohol) and with carbon dioxide (to form carboxylic acids) have found application (B-76MI40701). [Pg.448]

Such synthetic approaches can only be valid if the other heterocycles are readily available, or if their transformations lead to imidazoles difficult to make by other means. It is certainly important to be able to aromatize imidazolines since a number of ring-synthetic procedures lead to reduced imidazoles. 4-Aminoisoxazoles are sources of a-acylaminoenaminones which cyciize with bases to give 4-acylimidazoles. Oxazole-imidazole conversion has largely historical importance, but it is also implicated in some ring-synthetic procedures (e.g. the Bredereck method, see Chapter 5). Transformations of benzofuroxans into 2-substituted benzimidazole iV-oxides have some synthetic importance. Few, if any, ring contractions appear to have major application. [Pg.167]

A seldom used route to imidazoles which may have the occasional application is that which oxidizes a benzimidazole to give the imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid. Either chromic acid or 30% hydrogen peroxide is effective, but N-substituted benzimidazoles cannot be converted in the same way [27, 28]. [Pg.172]
