1-Benzyl-2-alkyl-4,5-dihydroimidazoles have been (laterally) metallated and C-alkylated by reaction with alkyl halides and an epoxide; intramolecular C-alkylation has led to a tetrahydro-5H-pyrroloimidazole.Hydrolysis of the 4,5-dihydroimidazoles to produce alkanoic acids completes a homologation sequence.
