Abstract: 4(5)-Chloro-imidazole-5(4)-carboxaldehyde derivatives are important precursors for the preparation of biologically active compounds. We developed a simple, novel, and efficient method for the synthesis of these compounds. The chemistry described is amenable to large-scale use and is flexible enough to allow the preparation of analogs.

Keywords: Imidazole, N-chlorosuccinimide, chloroimidazole, chloroimidazole-carboxaldehyde
