Here, we reported two methods for the synthesis of multi-substituted imidazoles,firstly via four-component cyclocondensation reaction of benzil, aliphatic amines (allylamine or pentylamine), and aromatic aldehyde and ammonium acetate. Using an ionic liquid catalyst namely, diethyl ammonium hydrogen sul-fate, and under solvent-free conditions. Secondly, via the alkylation of synthesized NH imidazoles with alkyl halide (allyl bromide and pentyl bromide) gave8a–cin high ... Read more

Template effect of alkali metal ions was employed to prepare three isomers of tetraamide of p-tertbutylthiacalix[4]arene: cone, partial cone and 1,3-alternate. It was demonstrated that pre-organization of four amide fragments attached to the calix[4]arene platform has a strong macrocyclic cooperative effect on the extraction ability of the title hosts Read more
