title: Synthesis of 1-alkyl-4-imidazolecarboxylates: a catch and release strategy.
abstract: The novel alkyl N-methyl-N-polystyreneamino-2-isocyanoacrylate was used for the synthesis of 1-substituted imidazole-4-carboxylates utilizing a "catch and release" methodology. The reactions were performed under microwave irradiation, affording the title compounds in both high yields and chemical purity directly to solution, from the solid phase support.
