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
Synthesis and selected transformations of 3-oxido-1H-imidazole-4- carboxamides

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.
Short, efficient syntheses of pyrrole α-amides

We report an inexpensive method for producing a diverse array of pyrrole amides on a large scale and in good yield. The synthetic sequence allows for the preparation of a number of pyrrole amide derivatives in excellent to moderate yields from commercially available compounds. The diketene adduct, in the presence of an amine nucleophile, provides an excellent method for acetoacetylation. For diversity and versatility, a second method utilizing Meldrum's acid was successfully employed for the preparation of additional acetoacetamide derivatives. Using the Knorr pyrrole synthesis, pyrrole amides were readily prepared from the oxime of the acetoacetamides. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
