Abstract

N-Alkylation of 1H-imidazole and 1H-benzimidazole with 4-n-octyloxybenzylchloride, 4-n-hexadecyloxybenzylchloride and 1-(adamantyl-1)-2-[4-(hydroxymethyl)phenoxy]ethanone was considered as an alternative to O-alkylation of 4-[(1Н-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]phenol and 4-[(1Н-benzimidazol-1-yl)methyl]phenol with n-octylbromide, n-hexadecylbromide and (adamantyl-1)bromomethylketone. Additionally, the efficiency of two methods was compared based on total yields of target reaction products.
