“…The results have been compared to that of the recently published tetrahydropyrimidine-based NHC-complexes (1-4) [13]. The synthesis and structural data of the rhodium-NHCcomplexes presented here have already been published elsewhere by Buchmeiser and Herrmann, respectively [17,18].…”

“…17 In this communication we describe an effective method to prepare imidazoliums by using trimethyloxonium salts, also known as Meerwein salt 18 , which has been used previously to quaternize a variety of heterocyclic amines. 17, 19 We also report solvent dependent tautomerism of the synthesized compounds and their ability to participate in different reactions.…”

“…Although 2 has been reported previously, 21 the literature description of its synthesis and usage is sketchy. 19,20 Analyses of the 1 H NMR spectra showed that compounds 1 and 2 exhibit interesting solvent dependent tautomeric properties (Table 1). This is indicated by the disappearance of the signals corresponding to aldehyde protons (9.86 ppm for 1 and 9.93 ppm for 2) and appearance of enol proton signals upfield (5.60 ppm for 1 and 6.05 ppm for 2).…”

The synthesized 1,3-dimethylated imidazolium carbaldehydes serves as synthons for incorporating a permanently cationic imidazolium group into molecular framework. The utility of new synthon was demonstrated in a variety of reactions: Knoevenagel, Wittig, Schiff base formation, based mediated electrophilic substitution and oxidation, including synthesis of the natural product norzooanemonin.Imidazole is an important functionality in biological systems and 5-imidazole-carbaldehydes, including their mono-N-methylated analogs are often used as building blocks in medicinal chemistry. Because methylation is the major histamine catabolic pathway in mammalian tissues, mono-N-methylated imidazole derivatives are commonly found in imidazole metabolites. Beside natural occurrence, other compounds bearing this group have been widely studied due to their anticancer, 1 antimalarial, 2 antibacterial, 3 antifungal, 4 and ocular antihypertensive 5 properties. In addition, several drugs and drug candidates (pilocarpine, tipifarnib) that incorporate N-methyl imidazoles have been developed. These findings have been facilitated by the commercial availability of suitable synthons such as 1-methyl-1H-imidazole-5-carbaldehyde for inclusion in SAR studies.Although rare, di-N-methylated imidazolium occurs in natural compounds. Some examples include 1,3-dimethylhistidine, zooanemonin, 6 norzooanemonin, methyl ester of norzooanemonin, (+)-echinobetaine B, 7 Chrysophysarin A, 8 and the insect peptide extracted from Heliothis virescens 9 (Fig. 1). These compounds have some promising biological properties such as antiviral, 9 nematocidal, and antifouling 10 activities. Biologically, 1,3-dimethylimidazolium group is metabolically stable. For example, the methyl groups in 1,3-dimethylhistidine-1,3-(C 14 H 3 ) 2 were not eliminated in a variety of animals studies. 11 Considering the potential usefulness of imidazolium-containing compounds, the availability of a suitable building block for its incorporation into diverse molecules would add an important functionality to a variety of compound libraries.Unfortunately, 1,3-dimethyl-5-imidazolium-carbaldehyde suitable for facile incorporation of di-N-methylated imidazolium is unknown. With a few exceptions that include their use as protective agents against chemical weapons (soman), 12 non-natural basic amino acidcontaining peptides, 13 and antibacterial compounds 3 , the literature is sparse on the use of dimethylated imidazolium-containing molecules in biological applications. There are number of synthetic 14 and enzymatic 15 methods available for methylation of imidazoles.
