Abstract
By contrast with the CN-diphenylnitrones, cold aqueous ethanolic potassium cyanide converts N-methyl-C-phenylnitrone into 1-methyl-4,5-diphenylimidazole. The scope of this reaction has been investigated, and shown to proceed via intermediate cyano-imines, some of which have been synthesised by alternative routes.Keywords
