Attractive and simple synthesis route from benzil to two different types of amino acid-derived imidazoles: first preliminary results

Abstract

Binding imidazoles to amino acids is an interesting synthetic challenge due to the structural particularities of each one. This research found an attractive and simple (almost green) synthesis route to develop two types of imidazoles anchored to amino acids valine and phenylalanine. FT-IR and 1HNMR support this synthetic route.
