Abstract

Abstract Image

A simple and efficient approach to selectively obtain 2,4(5)-diarylimidazoles suppressing formation of 2-aroyl-4(5)-arylimidazoles is described. The yield of each of the two products strongly depends on the reaction conditions employed. This reaction provides a simple method to prepare small libraries of biologically active compounds by parallel synthesis.
