On the basis of the reactions between 4,5-dinitroimidazole derivatives (1-methyl-4,5-dinitroimidazole, 1,2-dimethyl-4,5-dinitroimidazole and ethyl 2- (4,5-dinitroimidazol-1-yl)acetate) and cyclic amines (morpholine, piperidine or pyrrolidine) in mild cond

Methylation of 2-chloro-4-nitroimidazole (6), obtained from imidazole in four steps, either with dimethyl sulphate or with diazomethane affords a mixture of 2-chloro-1-methyl-5-nitroimidazole (10) and the 4-nitro-isomer (7).The corresponding dinitro compounds 11 and 8 are formed in the methylation of 2,4-dinitroimidazole (5), 8 being converted to 7 by the action of POCl3.Reaction of 10 with the sodium salt of N-methanesulphonyl-2-imidazolidinone provides the potent amoebicide, 1-methylsulphonyl-3-(1-methyl-5-nitroimidazol-2-yl)-2-imidazolidinone (2).The isomer 14 issynthesised from 7 in low yield.Ethylation of 5 leads to preponderant N-alkylation, providing a mixture of 1-ethyl dinitroimidazoles (9) and (12), but a small amount of N,C-diethyl derivative 15 is also obtained.The formation of 15 from 5 is rationalised.The diiodination product of imidazole is shown to be 4,5-diiodoimidazole (19), nitric acid transforming it to 4-iodo-5-nitroimidazole (20).Methylation of 20 affords a mixture of isomeric 1-methyliodonitro derivatives (21) and (22).The structures of 21 and 22 are established by 13C NMR data as well as by conversion into morpholine derivatives 26 and 24 respectively which also arise from 1-methylchloronitroimidazoles (25) and (23).A mechanism is proposed for the reported conversion of 5 into 4-chloro-5-nitroimidazole (32) in boiling 2-chloroethanol.
