ChemInform Abstract: A New More Atom-Efficient Multi-Component Approach to Tetrasubstituted Imidazoles: One-Pot Condensation of Nitriles, Amines and Benzoin.
A new more atom-efficient multi-component approach for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted imidazoles via the one-pot condensation of nitriles, primary amines and benzoin has been described.
