Green Synthesis of 1,2,4,5‐Tetrasubstituted and 2,4,5‐Trisubstituted Imidazole Derivatives Involving One‐pot Multicomponent Reaction

Abstract

Sodium lauryl sulfate has been found convenient, versatile, and eco‐friendly catalyst for the synthesis of 1,2,4,5‐tetrasubstituted and 2,4,5‐trisubstituted imidazole derivatives by one‐pot multicomponent reactions at 80°C using water as solvent. This protocol afforded advantages, that is, the metal‐free reaction, purification of products by non‐chromatographic method, and excellent yields.
