Abstract

Abstract The direct N-alkylation of 2-aminoimidazoles to give the corresponding 2-(N- alkylamino) imidazoles was accomplished using alcohols as alkylating agents in the presence of a [Cp* IrCl 2] 2/K 2 CO 3 system. The iridium-catalyzed regioselective reaction is simple, efficient, general, and environmentally benign.
