• ). It is interesting to note that heterocyclic nitrogen atoms can also react with cyanoguanidine. For example, Zeng et al. reported the conversion of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives into their related biguanide products in good 70% yield by simple reflux heating in ethanol (Scheme 10). The resulting

• . Imidazole rings are also frequently present in antibacterial [6][7][8], antifungal [9][10][11][12][13], antiparasitic [14][15], anticancer [16][17] and antiaggregatory [18] preparations. In turn, many 1,2,4-triazole derivatives exhibit antimicrobial [19][20], antifungal [21], antitumor [22], analgesic [23

• ], anti-inflammatory [24], psychoactive [25][26][27], anticonvulsant [28], diuretic [29], and anti-HIV [30] activity. 1,2,4-Triazole derivatives also represent the most important group of herbicides and fungicides [31]. In recent years growing attention has been focused on imidazole- and 1,2,4-triazole

• use of an appropriate basic catalyst (DBU, DIPEA, NaOH, NaH, TEDA), a donor/base/acceptor ratio and the reaction temperature. The reactions were performed in DMF as solvent. Target Michael adducts were obtained in medium to excellent yields. Importantly, for imidazole and 1,2,4-triazole derivatives

• , no corresponding regioisomers were obtained. Keywords: imidazole derivatives; methyl acrylate; Michael-type addition; pyrazole derivatives; 1,2,4-triazole derivatives; Introduction Derivatives of azoles are important biologically active compounds. Many, especially those containing imidazole

• important drugs, have seldomly been considered as aza-Michael donors due to their poor nucleophilicity and the possible tendency of adducts to undergo retro-Michael reactions [26]. Here, we present Michael-type addition of azoles, inter alia imidazole and 1,2,4-triazole derivatives of high acidity (pKa

Results and Discussion The 5-chloro-2,3-diphenyltetrazolium salt 2 was prepared in an analogous manner to the corresponding 1,3-diphenyl isomer 1 [6
