The C(sp2)-H Functionalization methodology is known to be an atom- and stage-efficient synthetic approach for the synthesis of novel imidazole derivatives. It has been found that cyclic aldonitrones do react with both azoles (i,ii) and azines (iii-v) to give the novel heterocyclic systems in good yields.1-3
The synthesized imidazole derivatives are of interest as promising polymer stabilizers, free radical trapping agents, biologically active compounds, and nitroxide radical precursors.
