Abstract
An environmentally benign aqueous alkylation protocol for the regioselective synthesis of thioalkylated imidazoles using cationic, anionic and neutral surfactants has been achieved. The efficiency of the coupling reaction depends strongly on the nature and the concentration of the surfactant. The highest yield (up to 94%) was obtained in the presence of an anionic surfactant, while neutral or cationic surfactants gave poorer results with no change in regioselectivity.
Kurzfassung
Es wurde eine umweltfreundliche wässrige Alkylierungsmethode zur regioselektiven Synthese von thioalkylierten Imidazolen mittels kationischen, anionischen und nicht ionischen Tensiden entwickelt. Die Effizienz der Kupplungsreaktion hängt stark von der Art und der Konzentration des Tensids ab. Die höchste Ausbeute (bis zu 94%) wurde in Anwesenheit eines anionischen Tensids erhalten. Neutrale und kationische Tenside lieferten ohne Änderung der Regioselektivität schlechtere Resultate.
