Syntheses of N‐[3‐(1‐methyl‐1H‐2‐imidazolyl)propyl]benzamides and N‐[3‐(1‐methyl‐1H‐2‐imidazolyl)propyl]benzenesulfonamides

A series of substituted N-(4-substituted-benzoyl)-N-[3-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)propyl]amines (13) and N-arylsulfonyl-N-[3-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)propyl]amines (14) were prepared from the reaction of 3-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)propan-1-amine (7) with substituted benzoyl chloride or substituted-benzene sulfonyl chloride respectively. Compound 7 was prepared by two independent methods.
