Abstract
The electrooxidation of several 1-methylimidazoles was performed in MeOH that contains NaCN at a platinum anode in a divided cell. Replacement of an aromatic hydrogen by a cyano group occurred. With 1, 2, 4, 5-tetramethylimidazole, the 2, 5-addition of cyano groups to the imidazole ring was achieved, and besides side-chain substitution occurred concurrently.
