K. Walczak et al., Cine-substitution of 2-methyl-1,4-dinitroimidazole in dimethylsulfoxide solution. Synthesis of 4(5)-(azol-1 '-yl)-2-methyl-5(4)-nitroimidazoles, POL J CHEM, 75(5), 2001, pp. 673-676
4(5)-(Azol-1-yl)-5(4)-nitroimidazoles were obtained in moderate yields by n
ucleophilic cine-substitution of 2-methyl-1,4-dinitroimidazole. Nucleophili
c azole anions were generated from salts of parent heterocycles with 1,8-di
azabicyclo[5.4.0]-undec-7-ene.
