By combining a ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN)–catalyzed aerobic oxidation of α-hydroxy ketones with a subsequent three-component condensation reaction using aldehydes and ammonium acetate, highly substituted imidazole derivatives can be assembled. This reaction is an important approach for the synthesis of highly substituted imidazole derivatives and was carried out in good to excellent yields in ethanol as an environmentally benign solvent.
