Synthesis of Polycyclic Imidazoles via α-C-H/N-H Annulation of Alicyclic Amines.

ABSTRACT: Secondary alicyclic amines are converted to their corresponding ring-fused imidazoles in a simple procedure consisting of oxidative imine formation followed by a van Leusen reaction. Amines with an existing α-substituent undergo regioselective ring-fusion at the α'-position. This method was utilized in a synthesis of fadrozole.
