Synthesis of substituted 2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-1-ols

Аннотация

Substituted 2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-1-ols were synthesized by cyclization of the corresponding α-thienyl nitrones in alkaline medium. α-Thienyl nitrones were obtained by reaction of N-(1-hydroxyimine-1-R-propan-2-yl)hydroxylamines with thiophene-2-carbaldehyde in methanol. At boiling α-thienyl nitrones in methanol in the presence of sodium methylate 5-aryl(hetaryl)-2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-1-ols are formed chemoselectively.
