It was also used for four-component preparation of 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles from benzil or benzoin, aldehydes, primary amine, and ammonium acetate under thermal solvent-free conditions. The remarkable features of this new procedure are high conversions, cleaner reaction, simple experimental and work-up procedures and also the catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture and reused several times without any loss of its activity.展开更多
