Abstract
Abstract Racemic as well as enantiomerically pure trans-1,1′-(cyclohexane-1,2-diyl)bis(imidazole N-oxides) were prepared from trans-cyclohexane-1,2-bis(methylidenamine) and 1,2-dione monooximes (α-hydroxyiminoketones). The enantiomeric purity of selected products was determined by means of 1H NMR spectroscopy in the presence of (+)-(R)-(tert-butyl)(phenyl)phosphonothioic acid as a chiral solvating agent. Deoxygenation by treatment with Raney-nickel led to the corresponding chiral bis-imidazoles.
