Description
Summary:In this study, we investigated the conformational abilities of n,n’-(Alkanediyl)-bis(2-phenyl-3,5-dihydro-4<i>H</i>-imidazol-4-one)s (<b>1</b>) to gain insight into their biological potential as a platform for the generation of various QACs. Among the conformers of <b>1</b>, due to the flexibility of the polymethylene fragment, the phenyl rings can take on different mutual arrangements, while there is a clear tendency for the formation of π–π interactions. From the point of view of the reactivity to alkylating agents, a preliminary conclusion can be drawn about the favorable mutual arrangement of imidazolone rings located at a sufficient distance to carry out both mono- and bisalkylation to obtain bis-QAC.
