A transition metal free, straightforward synthetic method for the preparation of substituted imidazoles is reported herein. Base promoted, deaminative coupling of benzylamines with nitriles results in the one-step synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles with liberation of ammonia. This protocol provides a practical strategy for the synthesis of valuable imidazole derivatives from readily available starting materials.

Described herein is the preparation of oxalyl boronate building blocks and their application for the construction of heterocycles. The oxalyl unit, readily accessible through commercially available starting materials, enables a modular approach for the synthesis of imidazoles. A variety of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and alkyl carboxaldehydes were condensed with oxalyl boronates to afford substituted boryl imidazoles in a regiocontrolled fashion. Subsequent palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling with haloarenes furnished the desired trisubstituted imidazole scaffolds. To demonstrate the utility of these scaffolds, potent inhibitors of the serine/threonine-protein kinase STK10 were synthesized.

1,3-Diphenyl-2-azaallyllithium (1c) reacts with aromatic nitriles by cycloaddition and subsequent dehydration to give lithiated imidazoles (3b). 1,1-Diphenyl-2-azaallyllithium (1a) under corresponding conditions gives either by cycloaddition lithiated imidazolines (2) or by normal addition lithiated open-chain enamines (5a, b).The enamines formed (4-amino-2-azabutadienes) are isolable in spite of their primary amino group. - Cycloaddition in preparatively useful yield was not possible with aliphatic nitriles.
