Abstract

Photolysis of alkenyltetrazoles (1 ) provides the first rational route to simple 4H-imidazoles (2); when unsubstituted at C-5 these are highly reactive towards nucleophiles and rearrange rapidly to the aromatic 1H-imidazoles on heating. ... In contrast to the extensive studies on the biologically and ... However, these are of interest because of their unusual and ... Published on 01 January 1983.
