Abstract

Abstract For the first time is reported on substitution of a hydrogen atom in position 4 of the imidazole ring with an aliphatic substituent occurring in reaction between 1- bromoadamantane and imidazoles. The reaction proceeds alongside the substitution in position 1 at heating in excess imidazole. In o-dichlorobenzene solution adamantylation of benzimidazole afforded 1-(1-adamantyl) benzimidazole and 1, 3-di (1-adamantyl) ...
