Abstract
A difluoromethyl substituent attached directly to an imidazole ring is very reactive toward basic hydrolysis. A correlation of rate of fluoride loss with increasing pH is consistent with a mechanism that involves initial ionization of the imidazole NH, formation of an intermediate azafulvene by loss of HF, and reaction of the intermediate with solvent water.
