The furylimidazoles compounds have a great importance in biochemistry andpharmacology because many of them present interesting properties1,2. They are also foundin artificial compounds3, such as agrochemicals,4 pharmaceuticals5, dyes6, plastics, solvents,photographic chemicals, electronics, corrosion inhibitors,7 preservatives, and polymers8.They can be used in synthetic organic chemistry as building blocks, due to their presence askey structural units in many natural products and in important pharmaceuticals. Forexample, the nature of the N- atoms in the imidazole molecule makes possible anextraordinary variety of reactions and this is the main reason for the great biologicalimportance of the amino acid, histidine.
