In this work, we have prepared 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles in the presence of trichloromelamine as a source of positive chlorine. Short reaction times, high yield, simplicity of operation and easy work-up are some advantages of this method. %K 2 %K 4 %K 5-Trisubstituted Imidazoles %K 1 %K 2-Diketones %K Trichloromelamine %K Aldehydes %K Positive chlorine %U http://www.growingscience.com/ccl/Vol2/ccl_2012_28.pdf
