Photoreactions of 4,5-diarylimidazoles: Singlet oxygenation and cyclodehydrogenation

4,5-Diarylimidazoles (1) undergo singlet oxygenation and cleavage to give N,N'-diaroylureas (2) on irradiation in alcoholic solutions in the presence of methylene blue as sensitizer. 5-Methoxy-4,5-diphenylimidazolin-2-one (5) and 4,5-dimethoxy-4,5-diphenylimidazolidin-2-one (6) have been reported as the principal products in the dye-sensitized irradiation of 4,5-diphenylimidazole in methanol.The formation of diaroylureas appears to proceed through the intermediacy of the corresponding imidazolin-2-one.A mechanistic pathway for the photochemical dye-sensitized oxygenation of the imidazoles is suggested.The photochemical cyclodehydrogenation reaction of the stilbene system present in 4,5-diarylimidazoles has also been carried out.
