A method has been developed for the synthesis of 1-arylimidazoles lacking a substituent at position 2, featuring the preparation of 1-arylimidazole N-oxides stabilized as boron trifluoride derivatives, with subsequent reduction to the desired imidazoles. This method permits broad variation of the substituents in the aryl part of these molecules.
