Abstract

A variety of 1, 5-disubstituted imidazoles and related compounds were prepared, and their bleaching activity was evaluated by using the lettuce seedling test. 5-(4-Benzyloxyphenyl)-1- ethylimidazole (13) caused clear chlorosis, while the 2-and 3-benzyloxyphenyl analogs had no activity. In the 5-(4-benzyloxyphenyl) imidazole series, only the 1-propyl analog showed significant activity, as well as compound 13. Both substituents at the 1-and 5-position of ...
