“…Afterward several methods have been reported for the synthesis of tri-substituted imidazoles by cyclo condensation of 1,2 dicarbonyl compounds, various aromatic aldehydes and ammonium acetate using various catalysts such as NiCl 2 •6H 2 O/Al 2 O 3 [15], MoO 3 /SiO 2 [16], Polymer supported zinc chloride [17], trichloro isocyanuric acid (TCCA) [18] under reflux conditions and glyoxalic acid as catalyst under microwave conditions [19] and Zinc (II) (tetra (4-methylphenyl)) porphyrin [20], Magnetic Fe 3 O 4 nano particles [21], Sulfamic acid functionalized magnetic nano particles SA-MNP [22], Ionic liquid (EMIM)OAc [23], Zr(acac) 4 [24], ceric ammonium nitrate [25] as catalysts under ultra sound assisted conditions. In the same way several methods have been reported for the synthesis of tetra substituted imidazoles by cyclo condensation of 1,2 dicarbonyl compounds, various aromatic aldehydes, ammonium acetate and aromatic/aliphatic amines using various catalysts such as nano TiCl 4 •SiO 2 [26] [33] as catalyst under Ultra sound irradiation. In extension with these procedures, several methods have been reported for the synthesis of both tri and tetra substituted imidazoels using various catalysts such as molecular Iodine [34], Sodium dihydrogen phosphate [35], BiCl 3 [36], DABCO [37] According to the literature survey, several synthetic protocols have been reported for the synthesis of substituted imidazoles using various type of copper containing catalyst such as synthesis of imidazoles through the Cu 2 O catalyzed cross-cycloaddition between two different isocyanides [43], Synthesis of 1,2,4-trisubstituted imidazoles through the CuCl 2 -catalyzed oxidative diamination of terminal alkynes by amidines [44], Synthesis of multi substituted imidazoles via CuI-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloadditions [45].…”
