SYNTHESIS OF IMIDAZOLE DERIVATIVES FROM α-HALOOXIMES AND AMIDINES BY USE OF IRON CARBONYLS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1983.341

The reaction of α-halooximes with amidines in the presence of iron carbonyls gives imidazole derivatives in good yields.This reaction occurs via deoxygenation of 4H-1,2,5-oxadiazines by iron carbonyls.
