title: Catalyst-free preparation of 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles from a novel unexpected domino reaction of 2-azido acrylates and nitrones.
abstract: A highly efficient and convenient method for the synthesis of 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles from readily accessible 2-azido acrylates and nitrones has been developed. This reaction proceeded under mild conditions without the assistance of any metal, acid, or base.
