scale in high yield and then subjected to various functional group
transformations to afford a series of different imidazole
derivatives, thus demonstrating the synthetic utility of the
reaction products. Further studies on the applications of this
cascade method for construction of nitrogen heterocycles are in
progress in our laboratory.
