Abstract

The title reaction of the 5-iodo-imidazoles (I) leads to the products (III), while the compounds (VII) are obtained from analogous reactions of the 4-iodo-imidazoles (VI) and (VIII).

ChemInform Abstract

The title reaction of the 5-iodo-imidazoles (I) leads to the products (III), while the compounds (VII) are obtained from analogous reactions of the 4-iodo-imidazoles (VI) and (VIII). The reaction of the latter with KCN (V) unexpectedly yields the product (IIId), resulting from a methyl migration. The structure of (IIIc) is confirmed by X-ray analysis (space group P21/c with Z=4).
