A straightforward
route to a large and diverse library of trisubstituted
imidazoles was established via a three-component reaction of 2-oxoaldehydes,
1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, and acyclic nitrogen bis-nucleophiles. The
obtained products were subsequently explored in a photochemical cyclization
yielding a variety of imidazole-fused polycyclic compounds.
