Abstract
Mild and efficient protocols provide 1,4,5-trisubstituted and 1,4-/4,5-disubstituted imidazoles regioselectively in a single pot from aryl-substituted tosylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) reagents and imines generated in situ from virtually any aldehyde and amine. Mono- and disubstituted oxazoles can also prepared.
