Description

1-(p-Toluenesulfonyl)-imidazole is a nucleophilic reagent that can be used to synthesize aromatic heterocycles by reacting with electrophiles such as alkyl halides. The reaction mechanism for this process begins with the formation of an imidazole-alkyl chloride complex, which is then hydrolyzed by water to form the desired product and liberate chloride ions. 1-(p-Toluenesulfonyl)-imidazole has been shown to be an efficient and reliable method for the synthesis of various heterocyclic compounds and is a good candidate for use in large-scale reactions due to its isolated yield and high functional group tolerance. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been used as a tool in determining the structure of this molecule.
