A Convenient Approach for the Synthesis of Ingenous Imidazole Derivatives Using Microwaves

Imidazole is a planar, five membered heteroaromatic molecule with pyrrole type and pyridine type annular nitrogens. It is the constituent of several natural compounds like histamine, histidine, biotin, alkaloids and nucleic acid and a very important class among the medicinal compounds. Imidazole moiety has been established as the potential entity in the large growing chemical world of heterocyclic compounds possessing promising pharmacological characterstics, therefore this article aims to review the work reported on the synthesis of imidazole derivatives using microwave reactions as a modern method for synthesis, to get better yield, economic and environment friendly reaction.
