Treatment of imidazole and benzimidazole with vinyl chloroformate or phenyl chloroformate in weakly alkaline aqueous solution leads to their conversion into the corresponding imidazol-2-ones; in weakly acidic solutions these chloroformates convert adenine into isoquanine, 6-methylaminopurine into 1-methylisoquanine and pyrimidine into an acyclic product.
