In the process of drug discovery and development, an efficient and expedient synthetic method for imidazole-based small molecules from commercially available and cheap starting materials has great significance. Herein, we developed a TMSOTf-catalyzed synthesis of trisubstituted imidazoles through the reaction of 1,2-diketones and aldehydes using hexamethyldisilazane as a nitrogen source under microwave heating and solvent-free conditions. The chemical structures of representative trisubstituted imidazoles were confirmed using X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis. This synthetic method has several advantages including the involvement of mild Lewis acid, being metal- and additive-free, wide substrate scope with good to excellent yields and short reaction time. Furthermore, we demonstrate the application of the methodology in the synthesis of biologically active imidazole-based drugs.
Preparation and antiinflammatory activity of some nonacidic trisubstituted imidazoles

A number of trisubstituted imidazoles were made and several found to be potent antiinflammatory agents when examined in the carrageenan rat paw edema test. The antiinflammatory activity of these compounds is retained in adrenalectomized rats. Unlike many previously reported antiinflammatory agents, these compounds are extremely weak acids pK[a] ≥ 11) and are therefore not ionized at physiological pH. One compound, 4,5 bis (4 methoxyphenyl) 2 trifluoromethylimidazole (flumizole), is more potent than indometacin in the rat paw edema test and, in contrast to some related compounds, does not cause photosensitization in mice.
