Reaction strategies for synthesis of imidazole derivatives: a review

Abstract

The development of a methodical directional synthesis of complex organic molecules with the aim of obtaining the physiologically active substance with selective action takes a central position in modern synthetic organic chemistry. Imidazole derivatives are a key component in great many bioactive compounds of both natural and synthetic origin. Ðœany scientists in the field of pharmaceutical chemistry and pharmacology have been attracted to them in recent years. This is because of the exceptional chemical properties and biological activities that they demonstrate. It is a big challenge for the scientists to modify and synthesize new imidazole derivatives.
