In addition, the racemisation of the undesired enantiomer via methyl ester formation and treatment with sodium hydroxide was found to be feasible allowing efficient recycling of this material [47]. Imidazoles Imidazole is an important biological building block being present in the amino acid

Imidazole containing drugs can be subdivided into two classes: monocyclic imidazoles and benzimidazoles. The former is
