An efficient combined electrochemical and ultrasound assisted synthesis of imidazole-2-thiones

The electrochemical reduction of 1,3-dialkylimidazolium ionic liquids gave the corresponding N-heterocyclic carbenes that, after reaction with elemental sulfur and ultrasound irradiation, yielded l,3-dialkylimidazole-2-thiones in very high yields. The rea

Chemical Detoxification of Organomercurials

Organomercurials including methylmercury are ubiquitous environmental pollutants and highly toxic to humans. Now it could be shown that N-methylimidazole based thiones/selones having an N-CH2CH2OH substituent are remarkably effective in detoxifying various organomercurials to produce less toxic HgE (E=S, Se) nanoparticles. Compounds lacking the N-CH2CH2OH substituent failed to produce HgE nanoparticles upon treatment with organomercurials, suggesting that this moiety plays a crucial role in the detoxification by facilitating the desulfurization and deselenization processes. This novel way of detoxifying organomercurials may lead to the discovery of new compounds to treat patients suffering from methylmercury poisoning. Getting rid of mercury: Insoluble HgE (E=S, Se) nanoparticles (NPs) are formed under physiologically relevant conditions when organomercurials are treated with N-methylimidazole-based thiones/selones having an N-CH2CH2OH substituent. Compounds lacking the N-CH2CH2OH substituent failed to produce HgE NPs upon treatment with organomercurials under identical reaction conditions. A novel pathway of detoxifying various organomercurials is described.
