Abstract
Novel \(N\)-alkyl-2-(alkylthio)-1\(H\)-imidazole derivatives were synthesized in a single step by an efficient and simple method in high yields. Readily available starting materials, mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity and novelty are the key advantages of this method. Besides their novel structures, these compounds may have important biological activities and industrial applications.
