Abstract

A series of N-aryl substitutedimidazole-fused'(Z) 3-ene-1, 5-diynes was prepared and kinetic parameters for their Bergman cycloaromatization reactivities were determined. N-Arylation enhanced rates relative to N-alkyl derivatives by up to sevenfold (ANOVA p< 0.0001). The greatest enhancement was exhibited by the N-phenyl derivative (sevenfold at 145° C).
