Uses
2,4,5-Triphenylimidazole is used in the synthesis of fluorescent diarylethenes and nanowires of 2,4,5-triphenylimidazole, which finds application as single wire active optical waveguides and optically driven ultraviolet lasers.
Preparation
2,4,5-triphenylimidazole was synthesized by reaction between ammonia, benzaldehyde and benzoin: Benzoin (1) ( 5 g, 0.023 M) was reacted with benzaldehyde (5 mL, 0.05 mol) (2) in presence of ammonia (3) and refluxed for 4 h and the resulting mixture was cooled, filtered to get 2,4,5-triphenylimidazole (4).
