Synthesis of Imidazoles from Alkenes

Alkenes are converted into imidazoles through their epoxides by a sequence involving ring-opening with readily available 2-tributylstannyltetrazoles (8), dehydration of the resulting alcohols (9) using methyltriphenoxyphosphonium iodide in a improved procedure to give 1-alkenyltetrazoles (12), which give imidazoles (17) on photolysis.

A New Synthesis of Imidazoles

Alkenes are converted into imidazoles through their epoxides by treatment with 2-tri-n-butylstannyltetrazoles (2), followed by dehydration with methyltriphenoxyphosphonium iodide in an improved procedure, and photolysis of the resulting vinyltetrazoles (4).

Synthesis of vinyl derivatives of tetrazole

A number of methods for the synthesis of C- and N-vinyl-substituted tetrazoles and closely related tetrazolyalkenes are examined. A preparative method for the synthesis of 5-vinyltetrazoles from the corresponding 5-(β-chloroethyl)tetrazoles by dehydrochlo
