2,4,5-Trisubstituted imidazoles have many pharmaceutical properties and can be prepared via reaction of 1, 2-diketones with aldehydes in the presence of an acidic catalyst. In this work, we have prepared 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles in the presence of trichloromelamine as a source of positive chlorine. Short reaction times, high yield, simplicity of operation and easy work-up are some advantages of this method.
