A new method for the preparation of 1,4,5-trisubstituted (imidazol-2-yl)acetates, based on the reaction of the corresponding imidazole 3-oxides with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) is described. Formation of the products is rationalized by a formal 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and subsequent oxaloyl cleavage. 1,4,5-Trisubstituted imidazole 3-oxides bearing an electron-withdrawing substituent at C(4), easily react with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD), yielding the corresponding oxobutanoates, which subsequently, in a one-pot procedure undergo hydrolysis through an "oxaloyl cleavage" mode. New (imidazol-2-yl)acetates were isolated in high yields. Copyright

An efficient synthesis of new N-alkyl- and N-aryl-3-oxido-1H-imidazole-4- carboxamides based on exploration of inexpensive, commercially available ethyl acetoacetate, paraformaldehyde and primary amines is described. Representative compounds were tested in selected transformations, such as 'sulfur-transfer reaction' leading to imidazole-2-thiones and isomerization to corresponding imidazol-2-ones. Strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding via the N-oxide function results in the reduced reactivity of 3-oxido-1H-imidazole-4-carboxamides in both reactions. Moreover, the palladium catalyzed C(2)-arylation of imidazole ring as well as azide-alkyne [3+2] cycloaddition using the N-propargyl substituted 4-carboxamide derived from an imidazole 3-oxide as a dipolarophile, were also studied.
