9] In contrast to the more commonly observed 2-aminoimidazole
unit found in nature, the N,N-dimethylaminoimidazole deriva-
tive has been less frequently encountered. For a five-step
synthesis of N,N-dimethylaminoimidazole from benzyl isocya-
nate, see: A. Dalkafouki, J. Ardisson, N. Kunesch, L. Lacombe,

10] Structural identity for all new compounds was established on the
basis of H and C NMR spectra and HRMS analysis.

solution to yield 2-dimethylamino-5-(3-indolyl)imidazol-4-one

and C NMR spectral data, to natural and synthetic material
reported in references [6] and [9], respectively.
